A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Gas generator of the driver airbag: Škoda Citigo, Fabia, Roomster, Rapid, Octavia, Superb, Yeti and Kodiaq
- Period mentioned
- Built from 14/5/2014 to 7/12/2017 (only the VINs in the recall)
- Symptoms
- There is no warning before a crash: the car works normally and no warning light comes on.
- Possible cause described
- The propellant of the Takata driver airbag deteriorates over time. If the airbag deploys, the inflator may inflate uncontrollably and throw out metal fragments that injure the occupants. There are two official EU alerts (Safety Gate): SR/00680/26, recall 69PB, cars built from 14/5/2014 to 18/8/2016; and SR/01853/26, recall 69PC, from 23/5/2016 to 7/12/2017, which since 1/6/2026 includes a request from the manufacturer not to drive the car.
- Check for the garage
- Ask a Škoda dealer today, with the VIN, whether your car has 69PB or 69PC outstanding; the replacement is free. If 69PC is outstanding, do not drive the car until the airbag has been replaced: ask them to collect it or for an urgent appointment.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
