Each campaign in detail

  1. Recall: 2.0 TSI engine cover that may touch the turbo (Formentor 2020-2022)

    Manufacturer recall

    The engine cover can come loose and contact the hot turbocharger, increasing the risk of burns or fire. The recall concerns 2.0 TSI Formentors built from 24 July 2020 to 2 March 2022; the fix consists of removing the cover. Check your situation with the serial number.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  2. Recall: front seat belt anchor points (Formentor 2020-2021)

    Manufacturer recall

    A manufacturing error may leave the front seat belt anchor points insufficient, which can reduce the belt's effectiveness in a crash. The recall concerns Leon and Formentor models built between 18 September 2020 and 23 August 2021 (2,277 vehicles worldwide according to the European alert); the belts are inspected and replaced if necessary.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

  3. Recall: radiator mounting (Formentor and Leon 2021-2022)

    Manufacturer recall

    A campaign announced in Australia covers 2021-2022 Formentor and Leon models whose radiator may be poorly secured: it can move and leak coolant, with a risk of overheating and loss of power if the warning is ignored. What Car? also mentions a recall of this type. The sources cited are Australian: ask a Cupra dealer whether your serial number is concerned.

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
