Problem description:
Due to an error in configuring the function monitoring device in the Body Control Module (BCM), a failure of the LED turn signals at the front is not always detected. The mandatory warning (acoustic/optical) does not occur in these cases.
As a result, the driver will not be notified of possible failure of the direction indicators, increasing the risk of an accident.
The Skoda Superb models affected by this recall were manufactured between 2013 and 2015.
