Stellantis Recalls 16,000 Peugeot, Citroën, DS and Opel Vehicles Over High-Voltage Battery Fire Risk

Dealers will determine the remedy during inspections, ranging from a software update to a full battery replacement.

Overview

  • The recall covers Peugeot 3008 and 508, Citroën C5 Aircross, DS7 Crossback and Opel Grandland X from model years produced or sold between 2019 and 2022.
  • Stellantis confirms about 16,000 vehicles are affected in this voluntary action, according to details provided to TF1 Info.
  • France’s Rappel Conso database flags the defect as a high‑voltage battery issue that can cause overheating and potentially a vehicle fire.
  • Owners have received letters instructing them to contact dealers to book verification appointments at no charge.
  • This campaign adds to Stellantis’s broader recall workload in 2025, including near‑million 1.5 BlueHDi engine fixes, an extensive Takata airbag operation, and a separate fuel‑system leak recall reported at more than 238,000 vehicles.
