Skoda India has issued a recall for its flagship Kodiaq SUV over a defect in the inner frame of the front seat. The carmaker says that 221 units of the SUV have been affected by the recall manufactured between March 10 and December 8, 2025. Skoda says the defect in the seat frame could affect the level of protection provided by the side airbag in a collision, increasing the risk of injury.
