Citroen ‘stop-drive' recall extended to C4, DS4 and DS5
Citroen has announced an extension of its 'stop-drive' airbag campaign to C4, DS4 and DS5 models. Motorists of several more Citroen car models have been ordered to stop driving their cars over a potentially dangerous airbag fault. The recall was announced earlier this year, after a report stated that a woman sustained fatal injuries caused by an airbag in a 2014 Citroen C3 in Reims, France last year. This resulted in C3s produced from 2009 to 2016 and DS3s made from 2016 to 2019 being recalled over the issue. Stellantis UK announces an immediate stop-drive action for all Citroën C3 (second generation) manufactured between 2009 and 2019 equipped with Takata airbags. Owners of such vehicles should immediately stop driving their vehicle. — Citroën UK (@CitroenUK) June 20, 2025 The recall now affects C4 models built between 2010 and 2011, DS4s from 2010 and 2011 and DS5s produced from 2010 and 2013, resulting in 9,968 vehicles across the UK. A Citroen spokesperson told the PA News Agency: 'To date, more than 66,000 vehicles have had their new replacement airbags fitted. "We forecast that the majority of customer vehicles will have their new replacement airbags fitted by the end of September, with the remaining cases handled as swiftly as possible within the coming weeks." They added: "In addition, Stellantis has proactively decided to expand the stop-drive to include additional Citroen C4 (2010-2011), DS4 (2010-2011), and DS5 (2010-2013) vehicles. In the UK, this amounts to an additional 9,968 vehicles." The UK's Road Maintenance System Earlier this month consumer site Which? called for compensation for those affected, as second hand car dealers were also warned to stop selling Citroen's that fell under the warning. How do I check my Citroen recall? If you already own an affected Citroen, you should be contacted by letter, or you can check whether your car is affected by using the VIN check tool on Citroen's website. Recommended Reading: You will need the vehicle identification number (VIN).

Urgent 'stop-drive' warning extended to thousands more cars
Citroen has expanded its airbag recall to include additional models Citroen has extended its 'stop-drive' airbag recall to include C4, DS4 and DS5 models, warning owners not to drive their vehicles due to a potentially dangerous airbag fault. The recall was initially announced earlier this year following a report that a woman tragically lost her life due to an airbag in a 2014 Citroen C3 in Reims, France last year. This led to the recall of C3s manufactured from 2009 to 2016 and DS3s produced from 2016 to 2019. Now, the recall has been expanded to include C4 models made between 2010 and 2011, DS4s from 2010 and 2011, and DS5s built from 2010 to 2013, affecting nearly 10,000 vehicles across the UK. A spokesperson for Citroen said: "To date, more than 66,000 vehicles have had their new replacement airbags fitted. We forecast that the majority of customer vehicles will have their new replacement airbags fitted by the end of September, with the remaining cases handled as swiftly as possible within the coming weeks. "In addition, Stellantis has proactively decided to expand the stop-drive to include additional Citroen C4 (2010-2011), DS4 (2010-2011), and DS5 (2010-2013) vehicles. In the UK, this amounts to an additional 9,968 vehicles." Citroen advises owners to check if their vehicle is affected and what steps they need to take by entering their vehicle's VIN number into the brand's 'check tool' on the Citroen website.
