Citroen has instructed owners of its C3 and DS3 models in Europe to cease driving due to potential issues with Takata airbags, following a fatal accident that took the life of a 37-year-old woman. The decision comes amidst a long-standing recall situation related to airbag malfunctions, which have been linked to multiple fatalities. Previously, Citroen only required drivers to schedule appointments for airbag replacements, but the urgency of recent events has prompted this new immobilization order affecting approximately 441,000 vehicles in Europe. Other major automakers have faced similar recalls due to the defective airbags as well.
French carmaker Citroen has advised C3 and DS3 owners with faulty Takata airbags not to drive their vehicles after a fatal accident involving airbag malfunction.
The French government urged Citroen to issue an immediate stop order for the affected vehicles following the 13th death linked to defective Takata airbags.
