Gowan Distributors Limited (Citroën Ireland) has announced a recall affecting multiple models of Citroën vehicles due to identified safety issues. One concern involves the brake pedal support in certain Citroën C3 Aircross and C3 models, where a missing or poorly assembled pin may cause the brake pedal to disengage, posing a risk of losing braking ability. This affects vehicles produced between June and November 2025.

Another recall involves the Citroën Spacetourer and Jumpy models, where a diagnostic test may indicate emissions non-compliance due to urea consumption inefficiency. This affects vehicles manufactured from July 2022 to January 2024. Additionally, the Citroën C5 Aircross has a recall due to a malfunction in the Stop&Start function, which could lead to increased CO2 emissions, affecting 548 vehicles produced between September 2023 and April 2025.

The Citroën Aircross models are also being recalled due to a potential fault in the high-voltage battery that could lead to overheating and fire risks, affecting 22 vehicles produced between January and February 2021. Furthermore, certain Spacetourer and Jumpy vehicles are recalled due to a risk of front suspension bolt breakage from corrosion, which could affect vehicle handling.

Lastly, there are stop-drive recalls for Citroën C4, C3, and C-Zero models due to airbag inflator issues that could lead to serious injuries in an accident.
