More than 100 million vehicles have been recalled globally over dangerous airbag faults. And now, thousands of UK drivers are feeling the impact.
Following a fatal incident in France and growing legal pressure across Europe, Stellantis (the parent company of Citroën) has issued an urgent “stop-drive” recall for more than 120,000 UK vehicles. And it may not stop there.
To help drivers understand what’s happening and what their rights are, we’ve launched a brand new guide: Dangerous airbags: your complete guide to the UK recalls and compensation claims.
What’s in the guide
This comprehensive new resource covers:
- What’s gone wrong with Citroën’s airbags – and why they’re so dangerous
- The models affected by the UK recall
- What a stop-drive notice means (and what happens if you ignore it)
- The growing legal battle in Europe – and how the UK could follow
- What support affected drivers should be getting – including courtesy cars and repair options
- What the law says about safety defects, insurance and compensation
- What to do if you’re impacted – from tracking costs to checking your VIN
- Whether other car brands are also affected
- How group action claims work and how to join
Why this matters
Defective airbags – particularly those made by Takata – have been linked to dozens of deaths worldwide. In the UK, many drivers have been left without transport, support or clear guidance.
At Join the Claim, we believe drivers deserve better. That’s why we’re connecting affected motorists with leading UK law firms investigating potential group action claims against Citroën. If you’ve been told not to drive your car, we’ll help you check your eligibility and stay informed.
If your Citroën or DS model is part of the recall, you may be entitled to compensation. Use our quick eligibility checker to find out more, or head straight to the guide now.
