Many Irish Citroen drivers still not responding to lethal airbag recall (https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/many-irish-citroen-drivers-still-not-responding-to-lethal-airbag-recall-1787366.html)
Citroën Ireland says that it is ‘well over halfway through’ dealing with the cars affected by a serious stop-drive notice because they are fitted with airbags from the now-defunct Japanese company Takata, which can be deadly.
However, Colin Sheridan of Gowan Auto — which is the privately-owned distributor for Citroën in Ireland — told Breakingnews.ie: “There is still a sizeable number of drivers who haven’t yet been to their dealership. Some are on their third official letter, and many of those are registered letters which have been signed for, so we know that someone is getting them.”
The safety issue at the heart of all this revolves around the airbags fitted to Citroën C3, Citroën DS3, and DS 3 models made between 2009 and 2019. Those cars were fitted with airbags made by the Japanese company Takata, which has been at the centre of a global scandal involving its airbags since 2013.
Probably too embarrassed to admit they own a Citroen lol
