Known issues on the 2016 ATS. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the sunroof panel switch, which sits proud rather than recessed and can be pressed inadvertently, triggering an unintended auto-closure of the roof panel. The second covers the rear defogger's coil antenna module, which can generate excessive heat from repeated or continuous cycling, raising the risk of a fire. The third covers the driver-side front air bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment and send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants. Owners have filed 35 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the sunroof switch wiring, tracing a defogger heat fault, or working through an air bag module service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 ATS.
