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.
Your VIN number is simply a string of 17 letters and numbers that is unique to your car. It lets us know if your car needs an update.
The easiest way to find it is by standing outside the car on the driver’s side, and look at your steering wheel through the windscreen. You will see it there, etched into the windscreen.
Your VIN can also be found in the technical documention of your vehicle. As it is the Vehicle Identification Number, it is completely unique to your car.
Important: Based on our analysis of which vehicles are affected, the list of vehicles is updated regularly. Therefore, check here regularly whether your vehicle is affected.

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.
What are the details of this recall?
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.
How much of a danger does this pose?
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.
What should I do?
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.
