Does a recall affect your SEAT Mii?

Not every SEAT Mii is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Driver's airbag may not deploy correctly

Launched 7 September 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/175 Manufacturer ref. 69L1

Defect
The driver's air bag may not correctly deploy because of a faulty welding process on the gas generator. In an air bag deployment the effect of the faulty welding process is to limit the protection and thereby increase the risk of injury.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver's air bag.

Launched 3 May 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/058 Manufacturer ref. 69J9

Defect
Some vehicles may be fitted with airbag control units with incorrect parameters programmed. On these vehicles the diagnostic function for the side crash sensors is deactivated resulting in potential faults not being recognised and the airbag warning not illuminating.
Remedy

January 1992 to September 2026 4 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the SEAT Mii. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
