🚨 Citroën C3 & DS3 Airbag Recall – What You Need to Know

CrashData.co.uk has recently seen a high volume of calls and emails from drivers affected by a new manufacturer-issued recall for certain Citroën C3 and DS3 vehicles. While we appreciate your trust in our services, this specific issue falls outside our scope and must be handled by Citroën or DS dealerships directly.

❗ What’s the Airbag Recall About?

The issue concerns Takata airbags fitted to various Citroën models built between 2009 and 2019. These airbags can deteriorate over time, especially in certain climates, increasing the risk of explosive rupture upon deployment.

Because of this serious safety hazard, Stellantis (Citroën’s parent company) has issued a “Do Not Drive” safety recall. Vehicles affected should not be driven until the airbags are professionally replaced.

📞 We Are Hearing from You……

However, we cannot assist with this specific recall unfortunatly. It is a manufacturer-only repair and cannot be safely or legally carried out by a third party.

✅ How to Check if Your Car is Affected

Find your vehicle’s VIN (on your logbook, windscreen, or door frame).
Go to the official Citroën recall checker: www.citroen.co.uk/maintain/safety-recall-check.html
Enter your VIN to check your vehicle’s recall status.
