Dossier-backed inspection brief
Use this beside the car or hand it to a mechanic. Every check comes from a named issue in the published authority; configuration uncertainty remains visible.
Configuration: 2 reviewed 2021 configurations exist; the model-year authority does not guess which one a buyer has.
Mark each check as you go. Progress saves on this device, works offline, and prints cleanly.

The official record describes a potential crash, fire, injury, or loss-of-control consequence.
“Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 Atlas Cross Sport, Tiguan LWB, Jetta NF, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Atlas FL and Arteon vehicles. The rear view camera could malfunction during an ignition cycle, leading to a black screen or infotainment system freeze. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility." A black or frozen rear view image reduces the driver's visibility when reversing, increasing the risk of a crash. Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the infotainment system software, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2020. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 91BB/91BC.”
