- The defect
- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2023 model year Atlas FL and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles. Certain brake lines may leak at the threaded connections.
- What it can cause
- A brake fluid leak may increase the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the affected brake lines, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 23, 2022. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 47T2.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 555 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 12 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V853000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 147 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V434000 (service brakes), 24V464000 (air bags), 22V807000 (suspension), 22V753000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 26, 2022 as campaign 22V718000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
