A stop-drive notice has been issued for Citroen DS3 due to a serious airbag fault affecting 120,000 UK owners. This recall has resulted in numerous deaths and injuries worldwide. Customers report difficulty accessing repair services, with long wait times and poor communication from Citroen's parent company, Stellantis. The airbag issue, linked to faulty Takata airbags, has been a global crisis for over a decade, impacting various manufacturers. Citroen has faced criticism over its handling of the situation and the inadequate support for affected drivers, particularly those with disabilities.
"120,000 UK owners are affected by an extremely rare stop drive recall that was issued because of a fault with airbags affecting vehicles across the motor industry."
"Citroen's parent company, Stellantis, has been criticised by customers for its slow response to the crisis, its poor communication and its lack of support for affected drivers."
"The fault has caused the deaths of more than 30 people worldwide and injured hundreds more, highlighting the severity of the airbag issues."
"Since it was thought that hot and humid conditions caused the explosions, a recall was issued in southern Europe in 2019 with limited effectiveness at addressing the problem."
