The 1983 Skoda 120LS has 3 recalls, the most serious involving front seatbelt anchor bolts that can strip out of their threaded seats in a crash, leaving occupants without effective belt restraint.
A second recall covers several compliance failures affecting core safety systems: the windshield mounting may not hold adequately in a crash, the hydraulic brake system does not meet required standards and may not deliver full stopping force, and occupant protection provisions are not up to standard. There is also a concern with the vehicle identification number markings. On the fuel side, the hose fittings on the evaporative emission trap system can crack and release fuel vapors into the surrounding air rather than containing them within the system.
