What happened

Volkswagen is recalling certain 2018-2019 Atlas and Tiguan models and 2019 Jetta vehicles that lack keyless entry systems. These vehicles may fail to produce an audible warning sound to alert drivers that the ignition key is still in the vehicle when a door is open, which increases the risk of vehicle theft or crash.

Volkswagen will contact owners, and dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to fix the problem. Owners of affected vehicles can reach Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 with recall numbers 90L3 or 90L4.
