1. 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 17. 2. 2016 – 26. 2. 2018 – VIN: VF7VEAHXHGZ004437 to VF7VEAHXHKZ000356 – Citroën code: GKG.
2. The cylinder-housing oil gallery plug may not have been correctly tightened. As a consequence oil might leak which presents a skid hazard for following traffic.
The recall affects vehicles produced between 30. 4. 2018 – 31. 5. 2018 – VIN: VF7VFAHXHJZ045656 to VF7VEAHHWKZ001086.

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. For more detailed information on possible recalls for your vehicle, please get in touch with an authorised workshop (see below at "What the owner should do?").
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.
