Takata Recall at Seat

Seat runs several Takata waves (codes 69EC, 69FT, 69GH, Exeo). The code 69EC is split into partial waves with different models and criteria: wave 1 (KBA 12778) only covers Leon and Toledo, the partial waves 13165, 13697, 14083R and 14935R additionally name Alhambra, Ibiza and Ateca; campaign 17254R (4 Nov 2026) carries the same code, its relation to the partial waves is not stated. For 69GH (KBA 13698) the KBA restriction only names Altea variants, so the assignment of Leon and Alhambra is unresolved. Which wave and which criterion applies to a vehicle can only be clarified by the VIN.
