Each campaign in detail

  1. Defective seat cover stitching (recall, side airbags)

    Manufacturer recall

    On Kamiqs built between July and September 2019, the seat cover stitching can be defective, which can impair the operation of the side airbags in an accident (Rapex alert of March 2020, Škoda recall code 74D7). The recall does not concern every vehicle: have the serial number checked at a dealer.

    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. Faulty eCall module (recalls)

    Manufacturer recall

    A software fault in the eCall communication module can prevent the emergency call button from working (European alert of 2021). What Car? mentions two eCall recalls: one for software on cars built between 10 July 2019 and 7 February 2020, the other for replacing the connectivity unit on cars built from late August to mid-September 2019.

    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).
