Citroen Spacetourer: Unexpected Airbag Deployment
Recall Summary Citroën is recalling 282 Spacetourer and Dispatch vehicles because water may enter the cabin through body seal gaps, potentially causing wet carpets or damp smells. In some cases, water reaching the airbag module's electrical components could cause the airbag to deploy unexpectedly. Citroën will add sealant to body joints and replace any water-damaged interior parts.
