- Citroen has expanded its 'stop-drive' airbag recall in 2025 to include C4, DS4, and DS5 models in addition to C3 and DS3 vehicles.

- The recall has caused emotional and financial strain on owners, with calls for Stellantis to clarify compensation and offer practical support including alternative transport and at-home repairs.
