Stellantis Expands Stop‑Drive Recall to About 140,000 Citroën and DS Cars in UK

Stellantis warns owners not to drive affected Citroën and DS models pending airbag replacements.

Overview

  • About 10,000 more vehicles were added this week to the Takata airbag recall, taking the UK total reported since June to roughly 140,000.
  • The expanded list covers multiple model lines and years, including C3 and DS3 from 2008–2019 and C4, DS4, DS5, and C‑Zero across selected 2010–2018 builds.
  • Repairs are being carried out free of charge at Citroën dealerships and Peugeot garages, with the company stating it aims to complete work swiftly.
  • Stellantis reported over 66,000 airbag replacements by August, though owners continue to report waits of up to two months for appointments.
  • Goodwill payments of up to £22 per day are being offered to cover transport costs while cars are grounded, as a separate PureTech engine recall also pressures workshop capacity.
