The 1983 Skoda 120LS has 3 recalls, the most serious involving front seatbelt anchor bolts that can loosen and strip out of their threaded seats in a crash, leaving occupants without effective restraint.
A separate recall covers several compliance failures: the windshield mounting, hydraulic brake system, vehicle identification number, and occupant protection do not meet Canadian safety standards, which can translate to a windshield that separates in a crash, reduced braking performance, and inadequate protection for occupants. There is also a minor emissions concern where hose fittings on the evaporative emissions system can crack and release fuel vapour into the atmosphere.
