2018 VOLKSWAGEN ATLASTransport Canada Recall #2021116
Defect
Certain vehicles were built with tires that may have been cured too long. As a result, the sidewall could crack or the tread and belts could separate. This could lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and could cause a tire failure. Note: This recall only affects certain Continental tires, with specific date codes and mold numbers.
Safety Risk
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Volkswagen will notify the owners by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the tires, if necessary.
