There's some indication here https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/525148-recall/ of a recall to address this problem.
Although I can find no offical recall on the vosa/gov site (although in light of the global IT issues , maybe that's not unreasonable!) .
I've not received anything from my dealer yet...

57NL is not a 'Recall', it's a 'Service Campaign'.

This is a lower priority update and is usually performed at a service or if a customer reports they are being affected by the fault. So it won't appear on the various 'Recall' sites.

Im not sure how Skoda have managed to get the fault, that potentially can lock the car with children and/or dogs in it, not classified as a safety issue and thus subject to a proper recall!

Update on my post of April 7th. Problem solved. Karoq sold, and no more Skodas for me!

Hi, I had a similar problem when you got the car up to approximately 10 mile an hour you would hear the central locking clicking. Put one day I’ve got out of the car with the keys still inside and it locked itself. Which meant I had to find a way home for the spare keys. For a while I’ve made sure that I had the keys in my pocket. But on further investigation as I park the car near to a tree a buildup of leaves in the black vent tray Where the wiper arm spindles are. When I cleaned all the debris from this tray and under the bonnet, everything started to work okay again. Which lead to my suspicion that one of the sensors is located there.

My 18 reg Karoq experienced this problem. When it was recently serviced, the dealer carried out the campaign 57NL fix on the body control module. Seems to be fine now.
