The 1987 Skoda 120L has 2 recalls, the more serious being side doors that cannot withstand the required crush force in a side impact, as the striker plate releases and the door can give way before adequate resistance is reached.
The second recall involves the bumpers, which do not meet Canadian safety standards for impact protection. In a low-speed collision, the bumpers may allow enough damage to reach the front of the vehicle that turn signal lenses crack or cooling system hoses get pinched, potentially affecting engine cooling.
