The only time I was called and requested to bring the car as soon as possible was in the beginning of 2014. The guys didn't actually know exactly what everything was about except that it is only a software update. They told me they were contacted by SEAT headquarters in Spain to do the recall and to their knowledge it was related to the sound actuator that creates fake engine noises in sport mode. However I highly doubted it someone would create such an emergency for such a silly stuff

This is the second one first one was last month, was they found some issue with engine which needed to be upgraded with different parts they made me sign a two page paper permission for them to carry the service recall asked the car for all day give them the car 9am and it was only ready at 16:00, and now got this call again I called and they say engine control unit and I must bring the vehicle to them
this sounds like the infamous vw dieselgate
2.0 tdi
there is a golf GTD next to me he went to VW recall they never told him specifically what was it they just say software upgrade, but the car is no longer 184 is now 177 on din he shown them the din test and they don't accept it the car needs to go to VW test centre to prove that it lost power, I ear quit a few about loosing around 10/15bhp on the 2.0 184, and that's what seat told me software engine control unit
as I can see on this forum only me got the call.
on seat website my vin says not affected on vw gate

It is possible the GTD had the last of the EA189 engines and needed the software.
The official figure is 181hp so a reading of 177hp is easily possible on another rolling road on a different day.
The EA288 motor fitted to the MK3 Leon is not affected by the emissions scandal.
Your car should not need any kind or remap/software update.
The two recalls I am aware of are :
1. Boost sensor - some cars had a faulty sensor but the build records couldn't identify individual engines with the faulty sensor so it was changed at service time. ( non critical issue )
2. Indicator stalk issue - again - non critical & normally fixed during a service.
