Volkswagen recalls Atlas SUVs over faulty airbags, warns against passenger use.

Volkswagen is recalling 143,000 Atlas SUVs in the US due to a faulty sensor on the front passenger side that can switch off the airbag system under certain conditions. Until the issue can be corrected, VW is advising owners to avoid letting people ride in that seat. The recall affects model year 2018 through 2021 Atlas and model year 2020 Atlas Cross Sport SUVs. VW is unaware of any injuries that might have resulted from the problem, and repairs will be done free of charge once a solution is determined.
