Stellantis recalls 44,000 UK vehicles over fire risk
Change
Stellantis has recalled 44,000 UK vehicles spanning Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Fiat models built 2023–2026 after identifying insufficient clearance between the gas filter pipe and the belt starter generator that can permit water ingress and a potential engine fire, and the company will contact owners to arrange free dealer repairs.
Why it matters
The recall imposes an immediate requirement for physical inspections and repairs, creating higher-than-normal demand on dealer service capacity and resulting in vehicle downtime for owners. Short-term availability of affected models for rental and commercial fleets will be reduced while repairs are scheduled and completed.
Implications
- • Authorised Stellantis dealers' service departments must schedule and complete free inspections and repairs for recalled vehicles.
- • Owners of affected Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Fiat passenger vehicles built 2023–2026 must book dealer appointments to remedy the defect before resuming regular use.
