14 recalls for four DS Automobiles models in 2023
DS Automobiles has 14 recalls for four models in the EU Safety Gate (formerly Rapex) system for 2023. It moved up one place in the overall standings to eighth place compared to last year.
DS Automobiles’ most recalled model is the DS7 Crossback, which has nine recalls. The DS3 had five recalls in 2023, and the DS4 was recalled four times. Most of the recalls are in association with other related Citroën models.
Safety Gate does not provide the numbers of potentially affected cars in its reports, so we always verify them from other sources. Since the beginning of 2023, we have also been monitoring the database of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), which publishes the numbers and also often includes DS Automobiles recalls that Safety Gate does not record. Some of them can be found below.

Check also the Service Bulletin (TSB)
This summary is not intended to provide comprehensive information on all DS Automobiles recalls in 2023. Only those that have been reported to the European Safety Gate alert system are listed. In addition to recalls, car manufacturers also carry out so-called service campaigns (Technical Service Bulletin – TSB), which are not reported anywhere and are only carried out on vehicles that arrive at an authorised workshop for servicing. We describe the difference between a recall and a service campaign in more detail in this article. This overview should prompt second-hand owners of older cars to contact an authorised workshop and ask if any recall or service campaign has been announced for a particular car. We advise how to do this here.
