Skoda recalls 580,068 vehicles built between 2012 and 2017 to the workshop worldwide. In Germany, 3,028 vehicles are affected. The reason for the recall is a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag, which can lead to uncontrolled deployment of the airbag when triggered. This can cause metal fragments to come loose, which in turn could injure the occupants. Citigo, Fabia, Kodiaq, Octavia, Rapid, Roomster, Superb and Yeti are affected models.
If necessary, the driver’s airbag will be replaced in the workshop. The KBA monitors the action under the reference number “012656“. The internal manufacturer code is “69DU“. One incident with personal injury is known so far.
