Seat Leon: Manual Child Lock May Disengage Without Warning

Recall Summary Certain SEAT Leon, Ibiza, Toledo, and Mii vehicles may have a faulty manual child lock that can unexpectedly disengage, allowing doors to be opened from inside even when the lock is engaged. This poses a risk if children exit the vehicle unintentionally. SEAT will inspect the child locks on affected vehicles and replace door locks if needed.
