Citroën has issued a Europe-wide ‘stop drive’ recall notice for specific C3 and DS3 models due to a critical airbag safety issue. The DVSA has confirmed its full support for this action, which applies to:

• All C3 and DS3 vehicles built between 2009 and 2017
• Some models manufactured between 2018 and 2019.

As of 20 June 2025, affected vehicles must not be driven under any circumstances – including for instruction or driving tests – until inspected and repaired.
