Engine covers on these vehicles may not have been installed correctly after service, causing them to come loose.

Volkswagen is recalling nearly 177,500 vehicles for a loose engine cover, reports Reuters.

Covered under the recall is a total of 177,493 units, comprised of certain Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles from model years 2024-2025.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, engine covers on these vehicles may not have been installed correctly after service, causing them to come loose. This creates a fire risk if the cover comes into contact with hot surfaces in the engine.

To resolve the issue, Volkswagen is having dealers remove the engine cover from recalled vehicles.
