I was looking at the site that tells you if your car is needed for a recall for a safety fault. ( www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall)  for info on a different car.

I put the reg in for my four month old Superb and it tells me that there is an outstanding recall. Surprising as it's a new car.  Is there anyway I can look up what it is?

Pick up the phone and ask the Service Desk person at a dealership what the RECALL is about.  & why the Car has not been RECALLED and the Registered Keeper received a RECALL Letter.

 

Or even mention of a Recall Campaign / Recall action.

This on the Gov.uk site does tell you what the RECALL is about.   SAFETY CRITICAL.   So Skoda / VW UK should get a move on contacting you if your car needs checked.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will phone my dealer later.

In the main menu on the MIB3 there's a tile for service campaigns.

If you select that does it inform you of any outstanding actions linked to your VIN? 

 

What is the mib3

The navigation/infotaiwnt unit.

If you press the menu button, there's a tile of the main screen for service campaigns.

Last week I arranged a service for later this month along with a replacement engine cover………dealer called me back 10 minutes later with news the job will take longer than expected because of ‘another’ Skoda update, he did say something about a heat mat but was very vague about where and why.

i did check the .Gov site but no mention for my 2022 model.

Well wait and see.

There are for some the recalls other than the Engine Cover one, which by now they should all be replaced.   

 

The DSG Mat one might be relevant.

Checked my 2020 (69 plate) and I have a recall now, I assume for the DSG thing as none of the other superb recalls ever showed up before when searching using numberplate. Booked in for Wednesday next week to check, was told I can still drive the car it's "not likely to explode"
