2013 Citroën DS3: front suspension arm fixing bolts could break
In September 2014, a recall was issued for Citroen DS3 vehicles that were manufactured from 10 October 2013 to 19 November 2013. In these vehicles, the front suspension arm fixing bolts may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. If the fixing bolts were to break, handling may be compromised, posing a potential accident hazard to the driver and other road users. Broken bolts can be noticed by the driver through noises and poor directional control (PRA 2014/14310).
2009-16 model year Citroën DS3: Takata airbag recall
In August 2018, a recall was issued for 2009-16 model year Citroen DS3 vehicles. These vehicles were fitted with Takata airbags and, over time, the propellant wafers in these airbags could absorb moisture. In the event of a collision which activated the airbag, excessive internal pressure could cause the metal airbag inflator housing to explode such that metal fragments would be projected through the airbag and into the cabin. These metal fragments posed a serious risk of injury and fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16878.
