David Zalubowski/AP Volkswagen has recalled 143,000 of its Atlas SUVs in the U.S. If there’s a fault, the sensor may not accurately detect a passenger in the seat and could turn the airbag off. Volkswagens number for this recall is 97GF. The sensors in these vehicles are part of the seat heating system, which is connected to a control unit under the seat via a wire. The system is designed to prevent injuries that airbags can cause to children and can deactivate the airbag when the seat is empty. A little more than 143,000 units are involved, and the problem stems from the passenger occupant detection system.
The recall affects Atlas SUVs from between 20 and Atlas Cross Sports from 2020. The automaker recently recalled thousands of the SUVs and warned against having passengers riding shotgun. Some Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models may experience an issue with the seat sensors that could cause the airbags not to deploy, even when someone is sitting in the seat. Beyond the sensors that monitor for collisions on the exterior, there are sensors in the seats that determine if a passenger is present and if they are large enough for a blast from an airbag, but they don’t always work properly. 2018 VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS RECALLS 5 doors suv produced by Volkswagen from 2017 to 2020 with petrol engines.
