Citroen owners left stranded over airbag safety risk

Stellantis issues a stop-drive directive for UK Citroen C3 and DS3 models due to airbag safety concerns, affecting over 120,000 motorists. Recalls cover vehicles from 2009-2019 following a fatal accident linked to faulty Takata airbags. Owners like Lisa Shackleton face delays in repairs, raising concerns over communication and the inconvenience caused. Stellantis aims to swiftly replace the defective airbags but offers no compensation, urging affected drivers to consult insurers on driving options.
