Citroën Issues Stop-Drive Recall for RHD C3 and C3 Aircross as Vauxhall Frontera Deliveries Pause for Checks

The move follows quality checks that identified right-hand-drive pedal assemblies not built to UK specification.

Overview

  • Citroën ordered owners of right-hand-drive C3 and C3 Aircross models to stop driving due to a pedal-box fault that could cause loss of braking or pedal detachment.
  • Vauxhall said Frontera customers are unaffected because deliveries have not begun, with vehicles being inspected and rectified if required before handover.
  • Stellantis stated that automatic emergency braking and the electronic parking brake would remain operational if braking capability were lost.
  • Affected Citroën customers will receive a replacement vehicle while their cars are inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
  • This marks Stellantis’s third stop-drive action in 2025, following earlier recalls centered on faulty Takata airbag units.
