CITROEN C5 Aircross

The problem

The ventilation hole of the passenger side airbag is too small, which may result in insufficient deployment of the airbag in the event of activation. Furthermore, the AR suspension arm screws may be lost due to defective heat treatment and the nuts on the anti-roll bar bearings could break due to excessive tightening torque applied. This may impair the control over the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.

The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
