Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross: The rear cross member may break

25/07/2023

Citroën is recalling 17,531 C3 and C3 Aircross built in 2022 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is the faulty steel hardness of the rear cross member. This can lead to fracture, which affects driving stability.

The serial number of the cross member is checked in the workshop and replaced if necessary. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “013011” and the internal manufacturer code is “JJN“.
