Citroen C3 (2022 – 2024)

engine fire

The oil jet cooling nozzles may be damaged. Failure to cool the crankshaft and/or pistons can cause damage to them and result in the engine stalling. This can lead to a hole forming in the engine casing, causing oil leaks onto the exhaust pipe. This can cause a fire to start in the engine compartment, causing the vehicle to catch fire.

The Citroen C3 vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 7 October 2022 and 20 June 2024.

Note: Safety Gate does not specify the engine type. According to our information from other sources, it is a three-cylinder atmospheric engine 1.2 PureTech.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Citroen dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.

Do you know the year Your car was made? You most likely don't.
