Just dropped off my Karoq for a service and they said they were going to be doing a BCM update, part of a national free campaign. I may ask a bit more on my return but wondered if anyone else knew about this? 

 

My ears peaked when they said 'national' and 'free', which made me think this is fixing something that would otherwise potentially become quite messy for Skoda. The way it was described, it didn't even sound as though it was necessarily restricted to just Karoqs.

Free because it is a Recall Action / Service Campaign.

You should just have asked the person to go find out. 

 

Your answer is probably in the Karoq section , the Octavia section etc.

Yeah I did ask on collection - matches that second screenshot, essentially preventing deadlocking with keys inside.

It might be on 'Škoda Recall Campaigns'. -  https://www.skoda-auto.com/services/recall-campaigns

 

You can also check for more major recalls on the bottom of the 'Check the MOT history of a vehicle' result page. - https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

 

 

The thing with Skoda Recall Actions or once again as they call them Recall Campaigns is they do not always contact a REGISTERED KEEPER & RECALL a vehicle.

It can be SKODA SECRET SERVICE CAMPAIGNS, If the car does not go to a Main Dealers or go for servicing the driver, owner, person leasing might never hear and finds out on Social Media maybe.

 

With a DVSA RECALL / SAFETY CRITICAL the Manufacturer via what ever means should be writing to Registered Keepers. 

Having someone without a clue at a dealership calling and saying THERE IS A RECALL & not knowing why is not SIMPLY CLEVER.
