In this video, the issue of Citroen cars with defective airbags is explained, with approximately 600,000 units affected in Italy alone, produced since 2009. It seems that the chemicals inside the airbags can deteriorate, explode, and cause serious damage.

The company has advised owners not to use the vehicles and to bring them to an authorized Citroen center; however, the service network is unprepared, either due to a lack of spare parts given the large scale of the recall, or the possibility of having to keep the vehicle stationary for several days, again due to the scale of the recall.

Citroen has not provided replacement cars or reimbursed those rented by users to cope with the inconvenience.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
