Each campaign in detail

Seat safety recalls (2018-2019 series)
Manufacturer recall
Two documented recalls concern limited series: a head restraint that may be missing on the rear centre seat (cars built from 18 April to 26 June 2018, UK recall) and a possible crack in the frame of the front left seat (series built in early February 2019). Only cars from these series are concerned: check the serial number with a Škoda 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).

Notices from the French consumer authority (DGCCRF) linked to this model, collected on 29 October 2026.

19 March 2021 — En raison d’une erreur de fabrication, la plaque de frein-pédale peut ne pas avoir été soudée de manière adéquate et peut être déformée et complètement détachée lorsque la pédale de frein est soudainement appliquée. Par conséquent, l’actionnement des freins sera altéré, ce qui augmentera le risque d’accident.
