RECALL CAMPAIGN - TAKATA AIRBAG
Stellantis UK announces an immediate stop-drive action for all Citroën C3 (second generation) and DS 3 (first generation) vehicles manufactured between 2009 and 2019 equipped with Takata airbags. Owners of such vehicles should immediately cease using their vehicle when safe to do so.
Recalls of airbag inflators from the company Takata are ongoing and affect vehicles from many automotive brands and manufacturers worldwide. The chemicals in these Takata airbag inflators may deteriorate over time, especially when exposed to hot and humid climatic conditions. Which may cause some inflators to rupture in case of a crash leading to airbag deployment, capable of causing serious injury or even fatality, in a worst-case scenario. Whilst there have been no reported instances in the UK, Stellantis has decided to deploy a stop-drive order for all impacted vehicles across Europe including the UK. This decision underscores the Company’s unwavering commitment to customer safety.
All affected customers will be notified by letter. Customers can also check if their vehicle is affected and what actions are advised by using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) check tool on the Citroën UK website:
