Possible faulty airbag recall on Citroen C3 and DS3 older models.

[Harnser]

Citroën is asking owners of C3 and DS3 models to report. These vehicles were respectively sold between 2009 and 2017 and 2009 and 2019. According to the site Rappel.conso.gouv.fr the faulty workmanship concerns the “Takata” type airbags.

Many of the owners of these older models may not be known to the Citroen dealer network so it up to the driver/owner to approach a Citroen dealer to have the recall done.

Whilst the recall for Citroën could be serious and I thank Harnser for alerting people, I couldn't resist placing this picture that could affect Renault owners 😀

Thanks for that information Harnser.   I passed it on to British friends who live locally and who have a C3 - news received with less than total enthusiasm, but with thanks !

Our 2015 Honda Accord had a similar recall to do with the generic Takata airbag fault a few years ago.

The airbag module is replaced that's all.
