Potential production delays on your Škoda or SEAT order

POTENTIAL PRODUCTION DELAYS ON YOUR Škoda OR SEAT ORDER

The global shortage of semiconductor chips continues to affect vehicle production schedules, with the ongoing crisis in Ukraine adding further uncertainty to new car lead times

11 March 2022

Dear customer,

We are delighted you have chosen a new Škoda or SEAT and we aim to inspire you with an outstanding product.

Unfortunately we will have to ask for your patience for the delivery of your new vehicle. In all likelihood, we will not be able to meet our usual delivery times.

Supply bottlenecks slow production

This delay is primarily due to bottlenecks in supply. The effects of the global COVID- 19 pandemic have led to a significant impact on the production and supply chains for electronic components such as semiconductors across all models. This is affecting the global automotive industry, with Škoda and SEAT also suffering from these component supply restraints at present.

The crisis in Ukraine is also disrupting supply of certain components. While our primary concern is for the humanitarian crisis in the area, the situation may lead to further delays. We hope you will appreciate that we are working hard to mitigate the impacts.

We will will keep you up to date

Our current view with regard to semiconductors is that the situation should improve through the second half of 2022. It is harder to predict the impact of the Ukraine crisis. Please be assured that Škoda and SEAT are doing everything they can to keep delays as short as possible.

Unfortunately, it is likely to be some time before we are able to confirm the final production and delivery date to you. We are receiving frequent updates about the situation.

We understand that the situation is unsatisfactory and disappointing for customers but kindly ask for your patience in these unprecedented times.

Thank you,
D. M. Keith
