The problem of Citroen cars with defective airbags

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Airbag

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.
