2020 VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS CROSS SPORTTransport Canada Recall #2021705
The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the drain tube for the air conditioning system may be blocked. As a result, water may leak inside the vehicle and into the airbag control module. If this happens, the airbag control module may not work properly and could cause the airbags to inflate without a crash.
Safety Risk
An airbag that inflates suddenly without a crash could create a risk of injury.
Remedy
Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the air conditioning system drain tube. If the tube is blocked, the dealer will repair it and replace the airbag control module.
