Description of the problem | My wife and i have a 2018 atlas. We have two children, and their car seats are placed on the second row seats. We have been noticing that the latch for the seat belt buckles securing their car seats were coming undone. It would latch down and we would pull it to confirm it's securely latched. Then we would be driving it normal but later upon removing our children from their seats, would realized that the seat belts became undone. I did research and found vw atlas 2018 model did have that safety issue and issued a recall for the affected vehicles i typed the vin number into the nthsa and the vw website and could not find a recall for our vehicle. We never got a recall notice either. This is a major safety issue for our children, which needs to be remedied asap. |
