8 recalls for 6 Seat models in 2019
In 2019, Seat announced 8 recalls involving 6 models through the EU Rapex system. The Ateca (5) and Leon (3) were the most recalled models.
We’ve sorted all 2019 recalls according to the model into a table below.
Several Seat models reported problems with seats, headrests or airbags. A large recall for several petrol engines (1.2 TSI, 1.6 MPI, 1.5 TSI) is also present with other VW Group brands.
With Atecas and Leons manufactured between late 2016 and July 2018, the failure of the directional LED lights may not be detected. The parking brake lever path can be extended with the Arona and Ibiza models produced between October 2016 to November 2018.
In a single day – April 29, 2019 – produced Seats Leon may have a loose lock nut in the transmission. For a small range, we haven’t added this recall to our archive. It can be found in the Rapex database under the number A12/1367/19 with the internal Seat code 34J4.
We’ve written about some problems in more detail in separate articles.
