48T7 - Steering housing bolt Ateca and Tarraco

SEAT S.A. has identified that in vehicles manufactured during a specific production period there is a possibility that moisture ingress may cause corrosion of a steering mounting bolt. If this corrosion progresses the steering attachment may become compromised. This could ultimately lead to a loss of steering control and increase the risk of an accident.

Remedy: In affected vehicles this steering mounting bolt will be replaced with a bolt featuring enhanced corrosion resistance. If you notice unusual metallic rattling noises coming from the front axle area or any irregularities while steering you must not continue driving the vehicle. Park the vehicle safely and contact an authorised SEAT Service Partner immediately.

Concerns: SEAT Ateca (Model years 2017–2023) · SEAT Tarraco (Model years 2019)
