A weld seam on the track control arm may have been missed during the production process

According to a listing on SIAM’s voluntary recall website, select units of the Skoda-Volkswagen India 2.0 cars – Kushaq, Slavia, Taigun, and Virtus – are to be recalled due to a production process irregularity at the component supplier’s end.

As per the listing, it is suspected that during the welding process, the weld seam on the ‘track control arm’ may have been missed. If the said component suffers a failure, it may result in a sudden loss of vehicle control and stability without any prior warning.

A total of 52 vehicles are said to be affected, including 38 units of Taigun and Virtus and 14 units of Kushaq and Slavia. The affected models were manufactured between November 29, 2023, and, January 20, 2024. The recall was officially registered on October 28, 2024.

Skoda-Volkswagen, however, has not yet released an official statement regarding this. Both carmakers will likely get in touch with owners of the affected vehicles for a voluntary inspection and update. As is the case with recalls, the fix will be carried out free of cost.

Skoda India has a page for owners to check whether their car is part of a recall.

Don't know if they have a check for this particular recall yet.

Just checked the Skoda website,and my VIN is not there in the recall, as of yet Will check again in a few days. Attaching the screenshot.

P.S. Just remembered that our car was manufactured in October 2023, so is not a part of the recall.

Appreciate Skoda/VW for having an open recall for just 52 vehicles. It is a very assuring gesture.
