Gowan Distributors Limited is conducting a series of stop-drive recalls for specific DS model vehicles due to identified safety concerns. One major issue involves the DS7 Crossback, where the Stop&Start function may not operate correctly due to incorrect coding, potentially leading to increased CO2 emissions that do not meet regulatory standards. This recall affects 124 vehicles produced between 10 November 2023 and 05 May 2025 in the Republic of Ireland.
Another concern involves a faulty high-voltage battery in some DS7 units, which could overheat and pose a fire risk. This recall impacts 4 vehicles manufactured between 07 March 2019 and 27 September 2021. Additionally, certain DS3 Crossback and DS7 Crossback models may have malfunction indicator lights that fail to activate, affecting 872 vehicles produced between 27 March 2017 and 15 November 2022.
The DS4 and DS5 models are also under recall due to a potential failure of the driver airbag inflator during deployment, which could lead to severe injuries. This affects 168 vehicles produced between 2010 and 2018. Furthermore, there are concerns about fuel leaks in certain DS3 Crossback and DS4 V2 vehicles, which could increase fuel consumption and pose a fire risk, impacting 412 vehicles produced between 08 November 2022 and 22 April 2025.
Lastly, a recall for certain DS3 models has been issued due to Takata airbags, which may burst with excessive force in an accident. This affects 707 vehicles produced between 2016 and 2019. Owners of the affected vehicles are advised to stop driving their cars immediately until repairs are completed by authorized dealerships.
