Citroën and DS call more than 600,000 cars for review due to a problem with the airbags.

The call of these vehicles is related to the “deterioration of the gas” contained in the airbags, “which ages over the years”.

Stellantis Group has announced the review of over 600,000 cars of the C3 and DS3 models manufactured between 2009 and 2019, but no longer sold.

In total, more than 605,777 vehicles have been recalled by the company in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Including nearly 247,000 in France alone.

Several thousand Citroën C3 and DS3 manufactured between 2009 and 2019 were recalled for a defect in their airbags produced by the Takata brand. A few days later, it was the turn of the car manufacturer Dacia to recall one of its Duster models. On the networks, motorists denounce the situation.

Citroën alerte sur une malfaçon dans ses airbags qui a déjà provoqué la mort de plusieurs personnes. Les véhicules étant âgés, leurs propriétaires ne sont pas forcément connus.

As call letters were sent in early May by Citroën to the vehicle owners concerned, who must register 'online' to then be contacted to schedule repairs at a dealership, covered by the manufacturer.
