What is being recalled
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2020 Atlas Cross Sports and 2021 Atlas vehicles. The driver's side headlight may have been aimed too low during production.

Why it is dangerous
A headlight aimed incorrectly aimed reduces the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
