en:Owners:Aftersales:Takata Airbag Recall Campaign COM/EN

Your safety comes first.

Danger to life due to defective airbags.


The worldwide recalls of Takata airbags affect SEAT models as well as many other manufacturers.

It is therefore possible that a faulty airbag in your vehicle could also pose a serious safety risk to you and your passengers. Here you can find out more information and check whether you are affected.

Is your vehicle also affected?

Over the years, the company Takata has supplied the automotive industry with airbags with faulty gas generators, which can change due to ageing caused by certain climatic influences (heat and humidity) and thus become dangerous.

At SEAT, these airbags are installed in vehicles from the years (2009-2017) in your country. Please use your chassis number in the VIN check below to check whether your vehicle is affected. You should do this regularly, as the vehicle lists are updated regularly.

How great is the danger?

If the airbag is triggered in an accident, the pressure may be significantly too high when the gas generator is ignited. This can result in pieces of metal being thrown into the vehicle interior. This can lead to serious injuries and, in the worst case, death.

What should you do?

If your vehicle is affected, please contact a SEAT service partner immediately to have the affected components replaced. This will only take about an hour and is free of charge for you.

We care about your safety, so please have your vehicle checked and repaired immediately.

FAQ's


Please enter your VIN into the search field above. By entering your VIN, you can confirm whether your car is included in the recall.

The VIN is the "vehicle identification number" that you can find on the vehicle body and in the logbook. It consists of 17 letters and numbers and is displayed in the windscreen as shown in the image below.

Takata has been supplying the automotive industry with faulty gas generators, which can deteriorate over time under certain climatic conditions (heat and humidity) and become dangerous.

These airbags were installed in various SEAT vehicles from 2009 to 2017. We are therefore taking action to identify affected cars and replace the faulty components.

If the airbag is triggered in an accident, there may be far too much pressure when the gas generator fires. This can cause pieces of metal to fly into the passenger compartment. This can lead to serious injuries and death.

If your vehicle is affected, please contact a SEAT Authorised Repairer immediately to have the affected components replaced. This will only take an hour and is free of charge.
