On the 2024-2026 CUPRA Formentor, australian recall REC-006608, reported by CarExpert on 13 May 2026, covers specified VINs among 2024–2026 Ateca, Leon, Formentor and Terramar vehicles. The report lists 920 affected vehicles across those models. Under certain driving conditions a software issue can temporarily disable power assistance. Steering remains functional, but increased effort, especially when cornering, increases crash risk. Check the individual Formentor VIN; the model-year range alone does not establish inclusion.

Common Symptoms

  • Steering suddenly becomes very heavy, especially when cornering

How to Fix

Owners of affected Australian vehicles should contact a CUPRA Service Partner as soon as possible for the free software update. Check the published VIN list on vehiclerecalls.gov.au or the CUPRA recall hotline (1800 879 112). A restart is not the recall remedy. Other markets require their own campaign and VIN confirmation.
