Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: Atlas Cross Sport 2026

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles, the wrong wheel bolts may have been installed. As a result, the wheel bolt(s) can loosen and cause the wheel(s) to detach.

Why it matters

A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a wheel that separates could create a road hazard for others.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Volkswagen advises you not to drive the vehicle until the recall repairs have been completed. None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers. Volkswagen will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the incorrect wheel bolt(s) before the vehicles are delivered.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
