Each campaign in detail

  1. Recall: faulty driver airbag gas generator (Takata)

    Manufacturer recall

    Two European alerts concern Kodiaqs built between May or June 2016 and December 2017: the propellant of the driver airbag can degrade over time and, on deployment, fragments of the inflator can injure the occupants (recalls 69DU in 2023 and 69PC in 2026). Carverif refers to the Takata airbag campaigns. To be checked by serial number at 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).

  2. Recall: poorly welded brake pedal bracket (2020 cars)

    Manufacturer recall

    Insufficient welding of the brake pedal bracket can deform or detach it during hard braking, reducing braking efficiency. The recall (code 46i5) concerns Kodiaqs and Karoqs built from 29 June to 31 August 2020, including, according to the Czech press, models with automatic gearboxes from 2020.

  • 15 April 2022 — Les housses de conception du moteur installées sur les véhicules touchés pourraient se détacher de l’attachement en fonction de l’utilisation (par exemple, style de conduite très sportif ou mauvaises conditions de surface de la route) et du temps de fonctionnement. Si le couvercle de conception n’est pas fixé, il est possible qu’il entre en contact avec la zone chaude du turbocompresseur de gaz d’échappement, ce qui augmente le risque de brûlures ou d’incendie.
