What Happened

Between 2016 and 2019, thousands of Citroën C3 and DS3 vehicles were sold across Europe with defective Takata airbags. These airbags can rupture violently during a crash, sending metal fragments into the cabin and causing severe injury or death.

Takata admitted fraud in 2016 and collapsed into bankruptcy. Stellantis issued urgent recalls, with many owners in Italy and France receiving "stop driving" letters in 2024—grounding their vehicles overnight.

If you're affected in France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany, or the Netherlands, you've likely experienced months without your vehicle, arranging alternative transport and absorbing unexpected costs—all from a defect you never caused.

Questions and answers

Can I drive my car?

If your letter says “stop driving,” do not drive it. Book the repair and request a courtesy car where available. [51]

I bought my C3/DS3 in 2016–2019 but never received a letter. Can I join?

Yes, register. We will verify your VIN and recall status against official lists.

I already had my airbag replaced. Can I still claim?

Potentially, yes. If you experienced loss of use or related expenses before replacement, keep your documents and register.

I sold my car before replacement. Am I eligible?

Possibly, depending on your country’s rules and timing. Register and we will assess.

What if I leased the car?

Leaseholders and some company vehicles may qualify. Provide the lease agreement and any evidence that you bore the costs.
