The water is wet at Volkswagen, forced into a major recall after a technical problem that affected its cars.
There is no moment of respite for the brand Volkswagenwhich is probably immersed in the worst period in its history. Of course, for the first time in 87 years, the closure of 2 factories in Germany is now imminentwith around 15,000 jobs that would now be definitively condemned. The 10 billion euro cost-cutting plan launched last year has not been enough to fix an unprecedented crisis, and something more is needed.
The crisis of the Wolfsburg giant, even if this was not clearly stated, was largely caused by the crazy investments in the ID electric field, which did not, as you can understand, bring any positive results. In the meantime, a blow has also come from the point of view of technical and production quality, with some Volkswagen models recalled a few hours ago. Here is what led to the terrible decision and which cars were involved.
Volkswagen, remember Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport
On the website “Autoevolution.com“, It has been announced that Volkswagen has recalled the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models in the USbecause of potential reliability risk. In fact, the braking rate could be ineffective due to the brake fluid flow not working perfectly. Therefore, the driver could come to brake and find himself with the brake that does not provide the expected response.
We know very well that when brakes are involved, manufacturers do not risk anything and prefer to intervene before someone is seriously injured. According to the definition, the brake cylinder cannot properly turn the force exerted by the driver on the pedal under hydraulic pressure, which would automatically activate the brake calipers.
All in all, Volkswagen has recalled 1,467 vehicles, 912 Atlas and 555 Atlas Cross Sportand as is always the case in these cases, the owners will be notified to proceed with the inspection and any repairs. All this will obviously be free for those who have to take their cars to special workshops, which means that this is another big cost for the Wolfsburg company in a very delicate time.
