Each campaign in detail

eCall recall (2019 Scala)
Manufacturer recall

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).

Seat cover and side airbag recall (2019 Scala)
Manufacturer recall

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).

1.0 TSI injector recall
Manufacturer recall
An injector with too high a leak rate can let fuel into the combustion chamber, and the vehicle no longer meets legal pollutant limits. The recall concerns the three-cylinder 1.0 TSI built between 2018 and 2020 (Škoda campaign 24FQ according to Au7o); the dealer replaces the injectors.
