Airbags, airbags, airbags…
All three of the recalls that appeared in the Safety Gate database this week are related to airbag problems. Mercedes is recalling 222,969 Viano and Vito vans from 2002 to 2006, while Volkswagen is recalling around 18,000 cars from six model lines (see the table at the end of the article) built between May 2022 and May 2025. Finally, 1,666 Škoda Fabia and Škoda Superb vehicles produced between 7 September 2022 and 20 March 2025 are also affected. In all of these vehicles, the passenger airbag could potentially cause serious or even fatal injury to occupants.
Trapped in a Lamborghini
The Lamborghini Revuelto’s doors close using their own weight. If you’re sitting in the car, you’ll probably be relieved that they didn’t fall on top of you. However, you’ll only be happy until you try to get out. Without the help of the gas struts, the heavy doors won’t lift. You’ll then have to wait for someone strong to come along and rescue you. The Revuelto has also previously been recalled due to a potential wiper malfunction or fuel leak, which poses a fire risk. What a bargain! 🙂
Stop&(not)Go at Mazda
Mazda is recalling 19,347 CX-60 SUVs this week due to a software defect in the transmission control module that can cause the engine to become unresponsive to the accelerator pedal after braking and stopping. This issue may affect vehicles manufactured between September 2022 and March 2024.
