Seat Ibiza recall over central locking fault
16/10/2018
SEAT has urged Ibiza owners to take their cars to their nearest dealership for a check-up after having discovered a fault in the locking system.
The manufacturer, based in Martorell (Barcelona province) says only Seat Ibizas registered 'between certain dates' are affected, but has not revealed publicly which these are.
Owners whose cars may be among those with a defective locking system have been written to, Seat assures.
But anyone who has not received a letter and is concerned should contact their nearest Seat dealership and give the chassis number, where they will be told whether or not their vehicle needs to be checked.
Although the mechanical fault does not affect actual roadworthiness or driving safety, the problem relates to the battery connection which works the central locking and could lead to passengers being unable to open their doors from the inside.
This could pose a risk in the event of an accident or fire, warns the Balearic Island consumer association CONSUBAL, the group which has raised the issue.
The Seat Ibiza is so far the most-sold model in Spain this year, with 33,757 cars shifted.
Along with Ford, manufactured in Almussafes (Valencia province), Seat is the largest car producer in the country.
