The French car manufacturer Citroen announced that it has expanded the recall of its popular C3 and DS3 models across Europe due to a dangerous defect in Japanese-made airbags.
The French manufacturer stated that the recall will target vehicles sold in France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Moldova, Switzerland, and Ukraine in the coming weeks, and will then be extended to other countries.
869 THOUSAND VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED
This situation will affect a total of 869 thousand vehicles, with 400 thousand of them in France. Since 2014, numerous deaths have been recorded related to Takata airbags, which have caused fragments to be propelled towards drivers' faces due to the gas inside reacting to heat and humidity. Major manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Nissan, BMW, and Toyota have recalled millions of vehicles equipped with airbags.
