Recall Summary Citroën is recalling 4,564 vehicles from multiple models (DS3, C3 Aircross, Berlingo, C4 Picasso, C4, C4 Cactus, and C3) because aged engine oil can cause timing belt material to detach and interfere with the brake vacuum pump, potentially affecting braking assistance. The fix involves a software update to improve vacuum system monitoring, along with inspection and replacement of the timing belt and related brake system components if needed. This recall applies to vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.
