We had earlier reported that the Skoda Octavia vRS is all set to make a comeback in the country soon. The performance variant of the sedan, christened as the vRS edition, was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show in Europe. Now, as we wait for the Indian arm of the Czech automobile manufacturer to confirm the same, another piece of news from Skoda India surfaces on the web.

If reports are to be believed, Skoda has recalled the current generation of the Octavia due to a possible fault in the child lock. While the recall was made in international markets such as Australia about a month ago, Skoda India has recently made a recall in the country for around 539 units of the sedan.

A manufacturing fault might result in damage to the detent lever of the child lock, which could lead to the active child lock being switched off. This could result in the child opening the door with the child lock on. If opened, the door could result in injury to the child and damage the door as well.
