Skoda Kushaq and Slavia Recalled for AC Issue
Kushaq and Slavia owners were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of the AC in the summer. The cabin was not able to get cooled completely as the AC would switch ON and OFF on its own. This, naturally, caused a lot of inconvenience to the passengers during the harsh summer months in India. Resultantly, Skoda has sent information about the recall to its customers via the Skoda app. Needless to mention, the upgrade will be free of charge.
