Recall campaigns have been commonplace in the automotive industry for many years. But what is it about? It’s actually very simple. When a brand notices a problem that affects many cars and where the design is not the fault of the drivers, they organize this type of operation. Therefore, owners must take the car to a garage for repairs at the expense of the manufacturer. And everyone can suffer, both luxury brands and more mass brands. After Ford, Kia or even Ferrariit was Stellantis’s turn again.

A great reminder

Indeed, the French group has just launched a massive recall campaign in Europe due to a problem with one of the engines. This is the BlueHDi diesel unit, which has been installed on Peugeot and Citroën cars for several years, as well as on DS, Fiat and Opel. Many months have passed since the concern was raised, but the French group has never acknowledged it. So it’s done. But what exactly is this problem? Well, the latter has to do with engine management software that can prevent one of the engines from firing malfunction indicators. This means that the urea injector is not working.

600,000 cars

In general, this is not the case at least 600,000 cars whoever is affected by this problem. Among them Citroën C3, C4 and C5 Aircross, as well as Peugeot 208? DS 7 Crossback and other Opel Corsa. The manufacturers will contact interested motorists directly to have their car repaired at the dealership. Obviously, everything is free, but the operation should be quite fast. So don’t panic if you encounter this software issue.
