Overview

• Heidi Alexander wrote to Stellantis UK managing director Eurig Druce citing “serious concerns” and calling for immediate steps to improve the recall process for Citroën and DS owners.
• The letter urges viable alternatives for affected owners — such as courtesy cars, compensation or at‑home repairs — after reports of distressed drivers and criticism from consumer group Which?.
• The stop‑drive order, issued on June 20 after a fatal Takata inflator rupture in France, affects about 120,000 UK vehicles and has left many motorists off the road for weeks.
• Stellantis has expanded the campaign to additional Citroën and DS models, with a further 9,968 vehicles added in the latest update.
• Dealers are also handling a separate Peugeot 308 recall to reinforce second‑row seat‑belt anchorages on 2015–2019 cars, work classed as essential rather than a stop‑drive instruction.
