Skoda has recalled its Fabia due to an issue that could see the front passenger airbag deploy incorrectly.
“Due to a manufacturing issue, the front passenger airbag inflator may catch on the dash panel and rupture in the event of airbag deployment,” the company says in its recall notice.
“In the event of airbag deployment in an accident, the airbag can foul on the dashboard and provide insufficient protection for the front seat passenger which could result in serious injury or death.”
