Urgent warning issued to Citroen owners
This expansion follows an initial recall earlier this year for C3 and DS3 models, prompted by a fatal incident in France involving a 2014 Citroen C3.
The expanded recall affects an additional 9,968 vehicles in the UK, specifically C4 models from 2010-2011, DS4s from 2010-2011, and DS5s from 2010-2013.
Citroen has already fitted new replacement airbags to over 66,000 vehicles, with the majority expected to be completed by the end of September.
Owners are advised not to drive affected vehicles and can check if their car is impacted by entering their VIN on the Citroen website.

Peterborough Uber drivers strike over pay and conditons
More than 50 Uber taxi drivers lined up at a city's train station as part of a strike against the company's pay and working operating across Peterborough gathered outside the train station and some at Maskew Avenue Retail Anwar, 30, a full-time Uber driver and one of the organisers, said drivers would be on strike for 48 hours until Sunday Uber spokesperson said it was working with a union to "improve the experience of driving with Uber". Demonstrations have previously been held elsewhere, including in Newcastle and Ahmed, 26, a Uber taxi driver who works nights, said the strike was a "necessary step" to try to improve working conditions."It is not sustainable," he said. "We can't work this way and have to do something."It is so challenging to get in touch with Uber. We are doing this strike to get or message across to them." 'Running on fumes' Arkash Khan said the Uber drivers in the city felt "undervalued" by the company. "We are driving 10 hours a day but after paying for fuel and insurance and maintenance, we are earning less than the minimum wage", he said."The drivers are running on fumes and we want Uber to put the prices up."He also criticised Peterborough City Council's licensing team. "Getting an appointment has been challenging, especially when drivers are looking to renew licences," he said. "But today, we are here to send our voices to Uber. We need change, and soon." Labour councillor Mohammed Jamil, deputy leader of Peterborough City Council, said: "The council's policies for vehicles and drivers are approved by our Licensing Committee and reflect the standards the authority wants to see in terms of vehicles and drivers operating in the city."A lowering of our standards could have negative effects, such as increasing driver and vehicle numbers, leading to capacity outstripping demand."An Uber spokesperson said: "All drivers on Uber are guaranteed at least the National Living Wage, holiday pay and a pension plan, as well as free sickness protection and access to free Open University courses. "This means drivers earn with greater security, helping them to plan for their futures while maintaining the flexibility that is a key part of why they choose to drive with Uber. "We continue to partner with the GMB union to improve the experience of driving with Uber." Follow Peterborough news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
