Due to a poorly welded foot pad on the brake pedal, on which the driver’s foot rests when braking, a total of 63,328 Audi, Seat, Škoda and Volkswagen cars of model year 2020 equipped with a DSG automatic transmission must be serviced.
The pedal plate may deform or even become detached under certain circumstances. A specialized portal informed about the convening event Svolávačky.cz. “We are calling vehicles to check the pedal and replace it if necessary,” Volkswagen said.
The manufacturers state that no damage or accidents are yet known in connection with the defect. According to the German Federal Office for Motor Transport (KBA), a defective welded joint is to blame.
Already at the end of last year, a convening event appeared for approximately 38,000 VW Golf, Tiguan, Touran and T-Roc models. Now it turns out that the problem will be more extensive. At Audi, the caller covers 7,389 Q2 and Q3 cars worldwide, and at Seat 37,323 Ateca and Tarraco models. Škoda Auto has to call 14,097 customers who have bought the Karoq and Kodiaq models.
If you want to check whether the convening event may concern your car, it is most reliable to contact an authorized service center and ask for more information. After reporting the VIN code of the vehicle, you will find out whether there is a defect in your car or whether it has already been resolved by the previous owner. Škoda also allows online inspections HERE.
