If the design cover is not fastened, there is a possibility that it will come into contact with the hot area of the exhaust gas turbocharger, increasing the risk of burns or fire.
The Skoda Octavia vehicles affected by this recall were equipped with a 2.0 TSI engine and manufactured between 1 August 2020 and 28 February 2022.
