Each campaign in detail

High-voltage fuse recall (iV, fire risk)
Manufacturer recall
Skoda recall 93O5 concerns the Superb iV and Octavia iV built between 2019 and 2022: a high-voltage system fuse can be defective and malfunction in the event of a power surge, with a risk of fire. The remedy is fitting an insulating mat on the battery switch box. Skoda describes it as a preventive action, with no fire recorded. Check the VIN with a dealer to confirm that the recall has been carried out.
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).

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.
