There has been a lot of discussion recently about the safety recall issued by Citroën for the latest generation of the C3 and C3 Aircross, especially concerning a brake pedal assembly defect. This has led many owners of older models to wonder whether their vehicles are included.
Here’s a clear breakdown of what’s happening and who is affected.
What the New Recall Is About
Citroën’s parent company, Stellantis, has issued a recall for newly released right‑hand‑drive 2024–2025 models of:
- Citroën C3
- Citroën ë‑C3
- Citroën C3 Aircross
- Citroën ë‑C3 Aircross
The issue involves a manufacturing defect in the brake pedal box, which in rare cases could lead to loss of braking ability. Because of the severity, some notices have advised owners to stop driving the vehicle until inspected.

The recall applies to newly released 2024–2025 right‑hand‑drive models built on Stellantis’s new small‑car platform.
These include:
Citroën
- C3 (2024–2025)
- ë‑C3 (electric)
- C3 Aircross (2024–2025)
- ë‑C3 Aircross (electric)
Vauxhall / Opel
- Vauxhall Frontera (2024–2025)
- Opel Frontera (EU markets)
Fiat
- Fiat Grande Panda (2024–2025)
- Fiat 600 (some batches depending on production plant)
Peugeot
- Peugeot 2008 (only the newest production batches using the same pedal box)
- Peugeot 208 (same as above — only certain new‑generation builds)
These models share the same Stellantis CMP‑based architecture, and the brake‑pedal box supplier is common across them.
