2020: Skoda recalls

Last update 16. 02. 2024

Three recalls for four Skoda models in 2020

In 2020, Skoda announced three recalls for four models through the EU Rapex system.

Some recalls for which we found information from other sources have not yet appeared on the EU Rapex list of dangerous products. You can find it under the links to the articles below.

Let’s mention those already in Rapex, for example, problems with the e-call system with the Octavia Mk4, or defective seams of the seat covers with the Kamiq and Scala models. To modify the airbag control unit, Superbs manufactured between January and August 2015 must go to the workshop.

All the recalls sorted by models are listed in the tables below.

Tip: Check the vehicle’s history by VIN

We’ve written about some problems in more detail in a separate article.
