Sources are not verified in real time and no entry confirms that your car is affected.

A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.

Engine / equipment
Brake pedal of the Škoda Karoq (NU) and Kodiaq (NS) with automatic gearbox
Period mentioned
Built in 2020 (model years 2020 and 2021)
Symptoms
The sources describe no early symptoms. The risk is that, when the brake is pressed very hard (an emergency stop), the pedal plate bends or, in the worst case, comes off.
Possible cause described
The weld between the brake pedal and its plate may be insufficient (ÖAMTC, January 2021). According to Radio Prague, the recall covers every automatic Karoq and Kodiaq built in 2020 and means checking more than 60,000 cars worldwide; Audi, Seat and Volkswagen had a similar problem.
Check for the garage
Ask a Škoda dealer, with the VIN, whether your car has this recall outstanding: they check the weld and, if it is faulty, replace the brake pedal. If the pedal feels loose, bent or moves sideways, do not drive on.
Cost cited in the source
