Hi I have just got a recall notice for my new fabia 3.

It says that the pin assignment may be interchanged in the wiring connector on the airbag control unit - This could lead to the wrong airbag going off on activation.

couldnt make it up could you.

just started a fortnights holiday - touring the uk in the car.

I'm sorry I really shouldn't laugh but your right you really couldn't make something like that up.

Hope you enjoy your holiday

:eek:

It's after hearing things like that I'm glad I've got good security here. If someone did come up the stairs one night I'd end up throwing one of my floorstanding speakers, lava lamp or desktop computer at them

Has to be said though, life is more important than metal. Sounds like you were very lucky

No details on VOSA for the recall yet.

Again?, there was one for the Octavia II where the wrong side airbag could be deployed.

Have you details of affected VIN's?

Or is my 2007 (april) made car safe?

Hi It says Skoda Roomster and Fabia2 - and for safety reasons to contact your dealer - the way I read it, if the plug is interchanged and you have a bump, the passenger airbag will go off. ouch!!!

I suggest that you ring your dealer to make sure.

yea my mother had the recall done on her roomster, they said it was a left-hand drive right hand drive issue and it was only a matter of flicking a switch the other way. the switch is located behind the dash clocks and it only took them a min or two.

they explained that if you crashed you airbag would go off on the wrong side

Thats well clever , isnt it? Silly Skoda.

The relevant VOSA link with affected vehicle IDs (VINs) is here:
