Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is notifying consumers that Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“Volkswagen”) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles.
What Is the Reason for the Volkswagen Atlas Recall?
Certain Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Cross Sport vehicles are being recalled, becaust the engine cover may have been improperly installed after vehicle service, allowing it to come loose and contact hot engine surfaces in the engine compartment, possibly leading to melting of the cover material.
Melted material that comes in contact with extremely hot surfaces (such as the exhaust turbo charger) could possibly lead to a fire in the engine compartment. If the engine cover has come loose, Volkswagen owners may notice a burning smell coming from the engine compartment or when opening the hood, or they may recognize that the engine cover has been moved out of its proper position.
