What is this? Some SEAT Ibiza and Mii cars have a problem with the airbag. The airbag may not open right because of a bad weld in the gas generator.

What's happening? SEAT has recalled these cars to fix the airbag issue. The bad weld could stop the airbag from working when needed.

Does this affect me? This affects people who own or drive a SEAT Ibiza or Mii in Greece, Denmark, the Netherlands, or the UK.

What should I do? Take your car to a SEAT dealer to check and fix the airbag. Ask your dealer or a mechanic if you are unsure.
