Skoda Rapid Ambition 2012 model Fuel injector issue

Hi, Our Skoda Rapid Ambition 1.6 TDI, bought in March 2012, recently had an issue of a blinking “Emission and coil” indicator, in between a drive. When it was taken to the Chennai Guindy Gurudev service station, . The initial reason seems to be fuel adulteration, but as all car owners, we fill it from the PSU outlets like Bharat Petroleum, HP and Shell etc, so we are wondering about the reliability of a Skoda ignition system to be faulty in two years. The Skoda service guys also informed us the cost of 1 such fuel injectors as Rs.25000/- and since it is outside our warranty, we may have to bear a part of its cost. I found a Service advisory issued by Skoda which states that all Injectors manufactured before June 2012 has that issue and has to be replaced. They have never made a recall of car for this issue.They are supposed to recall for such a big issue. Thanks, Godfrey Rajasingh J, 999XXX0023
