IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
STOP DRIVE ALERT
Stellantis UK announces an immediate stop-drive action for all DS 3 (first generation) vehicles manufactured between 2009 and 2019 equipped with Takata airbags. Owners of such vehicles should immediately stop driving their vehicle.
Customers can also check if their vehicle is affected and what actions are advised by using the VIN check tool below (also available on the Recall Campaign page of the DS website – your VIN is your Vehicle Identification Number or ‘chassis number’ from your V5 registration document).
Vehicles included in this action are the DS Automobiles DS 3 manufactured between 2016 and 2019 and Citroën DS 3 manufactured between 2009 and 2016.
It is of paramount importance that owners of vehicles who may have changed either their address or contact details keep their information updated with the DVLA (Driver & Vehicle Licensing Authority) so that they can be reached in a timely and efficient manner.
Stellantis remains fully committed to acting swiftly, transparently, and responsibly in addressing this issue.
If you would be happy to have your TAKATA (NQ3) Recall completed by a Peugeot Retailer you can find the details of participating retailers here.
Recall campaigns are related to your vehicle's safety or regulatory compliance. You should contact your authorized repairer as soon as possible. These interventions are carried out free of charge.
Takata airbag recalls are ongoing and affect vehicles from many automotive brands and manufacturers worldwide. The chemicals in these Takata airbag inflators can deteriorate over time, especially when exposed to hot and humid climatic conditions. This can cause some inflators to rupture in the event of an accident, leading to airbag deployment, which may cause serious injuries or even fatalities in the worst-case scenario.
Stellantis is recalling all affected vehicles with a phased approach to provide the fastest and most efficient customer service possible. We will prioritize older vehicles as they need to be addressed first due to the behavior of the chemical components over time.
For DS Automobiles, the affected models are:
- DS 3 (from 05.12.2008 to 30.05.2019)
- DS 4 (from 05.05.2010 to 03.02.2017)
- DS 5 (from 30.06.2010 to 09.02.2018)
By using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) verification tool below, you can easily find out if your vehicle is affected by this campaign, if it has already been subject to a recall campaign, or if it will be in the near future. You can find your VIN on your car's registration certificate or your green insurance card. It is a 17-digit alphanumeric code unique to your vehicle.
Please note that some DS 3 models are subject to a 'stop drive' measure. You can identify the affected vehicles by the recall codes "MK7" (2008-2018), "NQ3" (2009-2019), displayed after the VIN verification. If your vehicle is affected, we ask that you do not drive it and immediately schedule an appointment for airbag replacement.
