Gowan Distributors Limited (Citroën Ireland) has announced a recall affecting multiple Citroën models due to identified safety issues. One significant concern involves the brake pedal support in certain C3 Aircross and C4 models, which may not be securely attached. This could lead to the brake pedal disengaging, posing a serious risk as it may prevent the vehicle from stopping properly. A total of 192 vehicles produced between June and November 2025 are affected by this issue.

Additionally, Citroën Spacetourer and Jumpy models are being recalled due to potential emissions compliance failures linked to the DW10F EUR 6.4 engine. These vehicles, produced from July 2022 to January 2024, may not meet regulatory requirements, affecting 48 units. Another recall involves the C5 Aircross, where a malfunction in the Stop&Start function could lead to increased CO2 emissions, impacting 548 vehicles made between September 2023 and April 2025.

There are also recalls for certain Citroën Aircross models due to faulty high-voltage batteries that could overheat and potentially catch fire, affecting 22 vehicles produced from January to February 2021. Furthermore, a safety issue with the front suspension in Spacetourer and Jumpy models could lead to unpredictable vehicle handling, impacting 477 vehicles made between September 2020 and June 2022.

Finally, two stop-drive recalls have been issued for Citroën C4, C3, and C-Zero models due to serious airbag inflator risks that could lead to severe injuries in the event of an accident. Owners of these affected vehicles, totaling 1,162 units produced from 2008 to 2018, are urged to stop driving immediately and seek repairs from authorized dealerships. Customers can contact Citroën’s Contact Centre for further assistance.
