The announcement of the temporary disabling of the Fortnite shopping cart and ATK vehicles also stated that it would be applied to all game modes currently and that Epic Games would update the community once the bug with the shopping cart and ATK vehicles was fixed. 

Epic Games did not specifically state what the bug that caused the temporary disabling of the shopping cart and ATK vehicles of Fortnite was. This will be the first major issue that has befallen the ATK vehicle since it was first introduced into the battle royale game at the very beginning of Season 5.

However, this is just the latest issue that Epic Games has had with the shopping cart since it was added into Fortnite back in Season 4, as the developer has had to disable the item on multiple occasions in order to fix bugs with the unique vehicle. 

The first three seasons of Fortnite did not have any kind of vehicle based gameplay when compared to its competitors in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and H1Z1. Since then, Epic Games has added the unique vehicles that offer entertaining forms of transportation for players to utilize in making their way around the map.

At the time of this writing, Epic Games did not provide an estimated time of how long players will have to wait until the shopping cart and ATK vehicles are added back into Fortnite. We will continue to update this article with more information as it is made available by Epic Games.
