However, a new investigation began when there were reports of side curtain airbags that had failed to deploy. In August 2018, Volkswagen issued a recall for the 2018 Atlas because of poorly tightened brake caliper bracket mounting bolts. When it first reported, the automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) didn’t consider it a safety issue.

The telltales of the challenge included: wet carpeting, or an odor best described as foul, or an illuminated airbag warning light. The automaker discovered the problem last year when it first heard about the troublesome drain tubes appeared.
