Every Skoda Citigo recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
Takata drivers side front airbag
R/2026/002, launched 18 July 2025. Also covers the Fabia, Octavia, Rapid, Roomster, Superb, Yeti
Defect: On affected vehicles the propellant in the front airbag may deteriorate due to high humidity and temperature fluctuations. As a result in the event of an accident and airbag deployment fragments could detach from the generator housing and injure the vehicle occupants.
Remedy: Replace the front airbag on the driver's side.
On affected vehicles from a certain production period there is a possibility that the gas generator cover could be damaged when the driver's airbag is activated.
R/2023/086, launched 27 March 2023. Also covers the Fabia, Kodiaq, Octavia, Rapid, Superb, Yeti
Defect: On affected vehicles from a certain production period there is a possibility that the gas generator cover could be damaged when the driver's airbag is activated.
Remedy: Replace the driver's airbag in affected vehicles.
DAMAGED BATTERY CELLS COULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY WHICH COULD LEAD TO A THERMAL OVERLOAD
R/2020/349, launched 1 December 2020, 1 vehicle affected across the models it covers
Defect: On affected vehicles damaged battery cells could have been installed in the high voltage battery which could lead to a thermal overload.
Remedy: Replace the batteries.
TOWING EYE IN THE VEHICLE TOOL KIT MAY DETACH DURING USE
R/2017/348, launched 21 December 2017, 12,140 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The welding of the towing eye in the vehicle tool kit may not be to specification. As a result the weld on the eye may fail during use causing loss of propulsion and the towrope with the attached eye can potentially cause property damage and personal injury.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the towing eye in the vehicle tool kit.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF MAY DETACH
R/2016/219, launched 21 September 2016, 2 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The front panel of the panoramic sunroof may not have been bonded correctly which can lead to rattling noises during a journey. If the loosening front panel is not detected this poses a potential danger for the following traffic.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front panel of the panoramic sunroof.
MANUAL CHILD LOCKS ON REAR PASSENGER DOORS MAY DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING
R/2016/158, launched 7 July 2016, 3,258 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Octavia, Rapid
Defect: The door child locks may disengage without driver knowledge. Though the door remains close it is possible for the door to then be opened from the inside.
Remedy: On affected vehicles inspect lock mechanism and replace where necessary.
SIDE AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION DISABLED
R/2013/059, launched 3 May 2013, 1,563 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Some vehicles may be fitted with airbag control units with incorrect parameters programmed. On these vehicles the diagnostic function for the side crash sensors is deactivated resulting in potential faults not being recognised and the airbag warning not illuminating.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to re programme the airbag control unit.
