Each campaign in detail

Recall: welding of the brake pedal plate
Manufacturer recall
A recall concerns the welding of the brake pedal plate, which may be defective: the plate can come loose and increase the risk of an accident. The Ateca vehicles concerned were built in 2020 and 2021; publication dates vary between sources (European alert in 2021, French notice dated 2022). Only the serial number shows whether a given car is affected.
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).
