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
Body control module (BCM) and front LED indicators of the Škoda Superb II
Period mentioned
Built from 2013 to 2015
Symptoms
A front LED indicator no longer lights up, but the dashboard does not show it (no warning or change in the flashing), so other road users cannot see that you are turning.
Possible cause described
Because of a wrong configuration of the body control module (BCM), the car neither detects nor shows a failure of the front LED indicators. Škoda opened recall 97DR (92,562 cars worldwide, November 2019): the dealer updates the BCM software. No accidents were known from this fault.
Check for the garage
Switch the indicators on with the car stationary and walk round it to check that both front ones light up. Ask a Škoda dealer, with the VIN, whether recall 97DR is outstanding; if an indicator does not light up, it has to be repaired before the MOT or periodic inspection.
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.
