The worldwide recalls of Takata airbags affects 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. According to information provided by the manufacturer of the airbags, Takata, the gas generator of the front airbags affected may burst when the airbag is triggered during an accident if the propellant inside it displays signs of ageing due to certain ambient influences such as temperature and humidity. Metal parts from the gas generator could be thrown throughout the vehicle interior and cause life-threatening injuries to the occupants.

Here you can find out more information and check whether you are affected.

What are the details of this recall?

According to information provided by Takata, the gas generator of the front airbags affected may burst when the airbag is triggered during an accident if the propellant inside it displays signs of ageing due to certain ambient influences such as temperature and humidity.
