ŠKoda Kodiaq Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Škoda Kodiaq has 8 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 4 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve airbags and brakes. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The Škoda Kodiaq's recalls mostly involve seats, which matters for a seven-seat family car. The largest, R/2026/083, covers 3,572 Kodiaqs for a seat backrest frame cover, and earlier recalls dealt with a possible crack in the left front seat frame on the Kodiaq and Karoq (R/2019/214) and fixing nuts in the second-row seat frame (R/2019/162). If you carry passengers in every row, check the registration and ask the dealer which seats are affected. Other Kodiaq recalls include a driver's airbag that might not inflate fast enough (R/2019/210), engine compartment covers that could come loose (R/2022/075) and low engine torque at low speeds on some cars (R/2019/303), which could make pulling away harder. Kodiaq recalls tend to arrive within about 16 months of the cars being built, so newer cars are worth checking regularly. Any Škoda retailer can confirm by VIN which apply.
