The French portals of Le Parisien And BFM have reported that Stellantis will proceed with the recall of approximately 8 million vehicles around the world to replace their faulty airbags. Among the models involved, in addition to the Citroën C3 and DS 3 previously recalled, the C4, DS 4 and DS 5 have also been added to the list; Opel no for now.
As reported, Opels are not involved in the recall, and no failures have been reported on the brand’s cars since the airbags installed would come from different suppliers, although not specified. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the C4, DS 4 and DS 5 will be subject to the recall, although it will only be carried out as a preventative measure and as of now there is no evidence that these actually suffer from the problem either.
Stellantis appears to be under particular pressure compared to other automakers due to this issue. Although awareness of the danger of defective airbags dates back several years, and many manufacturers have already taken action preventive measures, the Franco-Italian-American group seems to have responded late. Furthermore, the large number of affected models and difficulties in providing replacement vehicles, as well as making appointments for recalls, are further complicating the situation for Stellantis.
So far, all things considered, Stellantis has recalled 530,000 vehicles between Citroën C3 and DS3, we have already reported that these recalls are progressing slowly, with only 50,000 cars repaired so far and with a replacement fleet of just 25,000 units. If this number were to increase considerably, in the event that the C4, DS4 and DS5 also encountered problems, the situation could become unsustainable for Stellantis.
