Start-stop system failure with Citroen C5 Aircross and Jeep Avenger

Citroen is recalling 6,838 C5 Aircross vehicles manufactured between 20. 9. 2023 and 5. 5. 2025. The recall is due to the Body Control Module (BCM) error which prevents the engine from switching off in start-stop mode. This increases CO2 emissions.

The same problem may occur with 22,796 Jeep Avenger vehicles with the production period between 5. 11. 2024 and 24. 6. 2025.

At an authorised workshop, the body control module (BCM) software is updated.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15646R, 15564R“. The internal manufacturer codes are “GL8, 65C“.

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 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.
