 My Karoq came within the vin numbers concerned and was confirmed with a recall letter from Skoda UK. The efficient dealership close by simply carried out a while you wait inspection and in my case found there was no remedial action required.Whilst I carry few rear passengers,the technician confirmed the importance of the check,and certainly should not be ignored by the owners concerned.

In the meantime, the cars performance and desirability goes from strength to strength.For what it's worth,this car is one of the very best I have owned and has represented outstanding value for money.Oh joy!

Thanks! very useful

Hmm was removing a large box from my Karoq today and found the rear headrest will not move upwards.Checked my vin number against those given and it wasnt one of them.Silly question I know but should I ring them and ask them to look at it even though it isn't one of those affected.
