The 2.0 TDI engine is prone to dual-mass flywheel failure and EGR valve carbon clogging, especially on cars used for short trips or city driving.
- Airbag Warning Light Recall(Serious)
SEAT issued a recall for certain Exeo models built between 2009 and 2013 due to a potential airbag deployment fault. The driver's airbag gas generator housing may rupture.
