Does a recall affect your Skoda Kodiaq?

Not every Skoda Kodiaq 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.

Seat backrest frame cover

Launched 20 February 2026 DVSA recall R/2026/083 Manufacturer ref. 72SG

Defect
Škoda Auto has discovered that there is a risk with the Kodiaq model from a limited production period that the edge of the inner frame of the front seats may compromise the integrity of the side airbag when activated. This situation may reduce the protective effect of the side airbag which could result in an increased risk of injury to passengers in the event of an accident.For safety reasons your vehicle must be repaired. We strongly recommend that you contact an authorized Škoda service center as soon as possible to arrange a repair date. In the first instance we ask that you contact your local ŠKODA authorised repairer as soon as possible to make an appointment. The ŠKODA authorised repairer closest to you can be found on https://tools.skoda.co.uk/find-a-retailer
Remedy
The vehicle will be fitted with sharp edge protection for the inner frame of the front seats to prevent damage to the integrity of the side airbag when it is deployed.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 8 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Skoda Kodiaq. 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.
