Citroën Extends Stop-Drive Airbag Recall to C4, DS4 and DS5 in UK

DVSA has told MOT testers to flag affected vehicles during checks.

Overview

  • The action now covers C4 (2010-2011), DS4 (2010-2011) and DS5 (2010-2013), adding 9,968 UK vehicles to earlier C3 and DS3 recalls.
  • Stellantis says more than 66,000 replacement airbags have been fitted and it expects most vehicles to be repaired by the end of September.
  • MOT testers have been instructed to add a manual advisory for affected cars and direct owners to franchised dealers for free repairs.
  • Owners report long waits and limited capacity, with consumer group Which? questioning compensation and a Norwich service centre closure complicating access to repairs.
  • No incidents have been reported in the UK, and owners are being contacted by letter and urged to check their VIN on Citroën’s site and book a free repair.
