Immediate Action Required – Stop Driving Your Vehicle

Citroën UK and Stellantis have issued an urgent stop-drive notice for certain vehicles fitted with Takata airbags, following a significant safety risk. If your car is affected, you must stop driving it immediately.

  • Inside your driver's door frame

What To Do If You’re Affected:

  1. Stop driving your vehicle immediately.
