Citroen has told all C3 and DS3 owners in Europe to immediately stop driving their cars. The reason? A woman died when an airbag exploded.
The cars may contain Takata airbags, known for exploding during crashes, turning safety into a deadly risk.
Over 4.41 lakh vehiclesâyes, you read that rightâare impacted in Europe alone. Citroen is preparing for a massive recall.
This isnât new. Takata airbags have caused at least 13 deaths in France and many more globally since 2014. The problem still haunts automakers.
After a 37-year-old womanâs death, the French government forced Citroen to issue its first-ever âDo Not Driveâ alert.
Weâre stopping these vehicles for urgent repair,â said CEO Xavier Chardon, emphasizing public safety over everything.
Itâs not just Citroen. Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, and Nissan have also recalled millions of cars over Takata airbag risks.
Good news for now: Citroen India has not issued any recall or alert. But C3 users in India must stay alert for any official updates.
Even if you're not in Europe, car safety is everyone's concern. If you own a C3, keep checking for updates from Citroen India.
