Window could drop onto the road with Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo (week 1/19)

09/01/2019

Three recalls for three models of three carmakers were announced in the 1st week of 2019. Peugeot, Citroën and Renault issued one recall each.

About the Toyota´s Aygo recall due to the risk of the rear door window falling out we wrote back in November. In the first week of 2019, other recalls appear for the same reason also for the remaining siblings from the TPCA factory in the Czech Republic. With the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 manufactured between 2005 to 2013, it is also possible that the glue that adheres the windowpane to the rear door could come loose. In that case, the pane would be fixed at only one point and could drop onto the road. In total, these actions concern nearly 1.5 million cars – 560,000 Aygo models from Toyota, 491,000 Peugeots 107 and 467,000 Citroen C1 could be affected.

At the start of the New year, Renault also announced a recall with the Megane RS assembled at the factory in Palencia, Spain. Due to a fault in the engine compartment, the battery wiring could be cut and the car could lose electrical power while driving.

At the beginning of 2019 you can also look at the recalls you were most interested in last year, or which models were the most recalled in 2018:

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 an 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.
