  • A supplier mistake is to blame for VW’s latest recall.
  • Owners of impacted models may notice a soft, spongy brake pedal.
  • Owners will be alerted to the recall on or before November 24.

VW has discovered that piston spring retainers used by another OEM in its brake master cylinders were inadvertently fitted to 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models, prompting a recall of 1,467 vehicles in the United States.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”);
}
else{

adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”);
} });

It’s been revealed that due to errors in the manufacturing processes at a supplier, an incorrect secondary piston spring retainer may have been installed in the brake master cylinder. This part is shorter than the correct one and can cause the piston to not return to its proper resting position. This can block the brake fluid port and drivers may notice a soft, spongy brake pedal, brake smell, or reduced brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

A potential issue was first spotted on August 28, 2024, during brake fluid filling processes at a VW facility. It was quickly determined the supplier had used the wrong spring retainers and that a recall would be necessary.

VW will alert owners of impacted models to the recall on or before November 26, 2024. Dealers have been told to replace the brake master cylinder at no cost to owners and the supplier has confirmed that as of September 11, it had been supplying the correct part to the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport.
