As a result of a problem with the seatbelts, the Volkswagen Group in India has been forced to recall more than 47,000 vehicles. The Volkswagen Taigun, the Volkswagen Virtus, the Skoda Kushaq, the Skoda Kylaq, and the Skoda Slavia are among the vehicles that have been impacted by this issue. Between the 24th of May, 2024 and the 1st of April, 2025, the models in question were manufactured.
Regarding the recall of Skoda and Volkswagen, what is the reason?
There are a total of 25,722 units of the Skoda Kylaq, Kushaq, and Slavia that are included in this recall, according to a document from SIAM. Additionally, there are 21,513 different Volkswagen models that are included in this recall. Taking into account all of these units, the total number now stands at 47,235. Additionally, all of the smart car that are being recalled are all types that were manufactured in India by Skoda Auto Volkswagen India.
The issue is with the rear seatbelt; in the case of a frontal collision, the rear seatbelt buckle latch plate may break or fail, and the webbing of the center seatbelt assembly in the rear, together with the buckle of the rear right seatbelt, may fail. The problem is with the rear seatbelt. This may provide a significant risk to the safety of those who are seated in the back of the vehicle.
Skoda Auto Volkswagen India will, as is the case with any recall, make direct contact with consumers in order to inform them of the recall and will rectify the issue at no cost to them. Having said that, owners of vehicles may also check to see if their smarter move is included in the recall by visiting the official websites of Skoda and Volkswagen and inputting the vehicle identification number (VIN) information for their vehicle.
