Production: 3. 3. 2016 - 8. 3. 2018 | Problems / tags:
The cars have an incorrect version of the engine’s software, leading to errors in the cooling strategy and malfunction of the engine’s “high temperature” warning system. This could lead to unnoticed overheating of the engine, which may leak oil and also fail, increasing the risk of accident.
The recall affects vehicles produced between 3 March 2016 and 8 March 2018 – VIN: from VF73DAHSMGJ549462 to VF73AAHXTJJ611111 – Citroën code: GKA

This notification is purely informative for the vehicle type you have selected. As these deficiencies often relate to specific components (engine type, bodywork, equipment), the recall may not apply to all vehicles of this type. First published in the Weekly overview reports of RAPEX notifications.
What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you’ll need the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your car – this is a 17 characters code that appears on the chassis plate of your car or – on most UK-registered cars – in the bottom-left corner of your windscreen.
You should make contact with a Citroen dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. Usually that’ll be your nearest franchised dealership, or ‘main dealer’ as they’re sometimes known.
UK car-owners can easily make a pre-check by visiting DVLA website and entering your car registration number; it will also reveal your car’s current MOT status.
If you wish fully comprehensive vehicle check, with more than 80 data points about the history of the car, then we suggest going to HPI-Check, which provides information on a specific vehicle using also the vehicle registration number.
