Overview

  • The recall covers models built from 2017 to 2023 equipped with the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engine after detection of premature camshaft drive chain wear that can cause valve breakage or full engine failure.
  • Affected vehicles span multiple marques and models including Citroën C3 and C4, Opel Corsa and Mokka, Peugeot 208, 2008 and 308, plus DS and Fiat variants.
  • Stellantis will notify owners to schedule inspections at dealerships using a diagnostic app that listens for engine noise to assess chain wear.
  • Faulty chains will be replaced free of charge, and the company has extended engine warranties to 10 years or 240,000 km while offering reimbursements for qualifying past repairs.
  • The latest recall follows previous PureTech engine and Takata airbag campaigns as CEO Antonio Filosa accelerates efforts to bolster product reliability and customer support.
