Stellantis to recall up to 700,000 cars worldwide over fire risk
Stellantis said a clearance fault in 1.2-litre mild-hybrid engines could allow water ingress and overheating, and it is offering free repairs.
- Stellantis announced a voluntary recall for around 44,000 vehicles in the UK with 1.2-litre mild-hybrid engines built between 2023 and 2026 across Citroen, Peugeot, and Vauxhall.
- Insufficient clearance between the gasoline particulate filter pipe and the belt starter generator protection cap can permit water ingress, potentially triggering overheating or engine-compartment fire under wet conditions.
- Affected models include multiple Citroen, Peugeot, and Vauxhall variants. Stellantis stated the recall addresses a "potential issue concerning the clearance between the gasoline particulate filter pipe."
- Reuters reports that Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Jeep automobiles are included in a broader global remedial action, indicating a wider scope than official UK notices initially disclosed.
- Owners can verify if their vehicle requires a complimentary 30-minute repair by entering their VIN on the manufacturer's website; VINs are located on the windscreen, driver's door, or V5C logbook.
