2018 Volkswagen Atlas Owner Comments

Check engine light came on. The owners manual says take to nearest dealership, which I did on the following day, and they said to bring it back in two days. Service advisor says it needs a new Catalytic converter which is not in stock. They got it the next week and it is being installed today. I'm not too happy with a Cat being replaced after 20,000 miles. I looked up the price and they are around $1000 for the part, I hope I don't need one at 40000 miles, or when it is out of warranty. This usually shows there is another problem if the Cat is defective at this low a mileage.
