What the notice says today
The defect
The propulsion gas in the driver airbag may be deteriorated due to high humidity and temperature fluctuations. (Dutch: Het drijfgas in de bestuurdersairbag kan verslechterd zijn door hoge luchtvochtigheid en temperatuurschommelingen.)
The consequence
When the airbag is activated, the case can break. This can cause metal particles to break. The metal particles can injure the sitting person dangerously. (Dutch: Wanneer de airbag geactiveerd wordt, kan de behuizing barsten. Hierdoor kunnen metaaldeeltjes losraken. De metaaldeeltjes kunnen de inzittende levensgevaarlijk verwonden)
What will be done
Customers can contact a Skoda dealer of their choice for a free visit. (Dutch: Klant kan contact opnemen met een Skoda dealer naar keuze voor een kosteloos bezoek. Hier zal de bestuurdersairbag vervangen worden.)
