Rumour: Skoda Rapid recalled over passenger-side airbag issue

Besides the Rapid, the Kodiaq could also be facing a similar airbag-related issue.

The Skoda Rapid is said to have been recalled to replace the passenger-side airbag.

Reports suggest that Skoda service centres have been directed to replace the front passenger-side airbag on the Rapid. The replacement will be covered under warranty.

Cars manufactured in 2018 and earlier are said to have been affected by this recall. That being said, the exact issue with these airbags is not known.

The Skoda Rapid was discontinued in February this year. In 2018, the car was offered with 1.6-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. The car has since been replaced by the Slavia.

Reports suggest that it is not just the Rapid that has been recalled, but the Kodiaq could also be facing a similar airbag-related issue.
