Citroen C5x: Vsm Software Missing Aeb Telltale In Case Of Blind Camera.
Recall Summary Citroën is recalling 101 C5X vehicles because the warning light for the Automatic Emergency Braking system doesn't display when the front camera is blocked or dirty. While the braking system continues to work using radar, drivers won't see the telltale indicator in the instrument cluster, though a pop-up message will appear briefly each time the vehicle is started. The fix involves a software update to the Vehicle System Management system.

- Product
- Vehicles: CITROEN C5X. Units affected: 101
- Reason
- On certain Citroen vehicles the Automatic Emergency Braking Assist telltale fails to illuminate if the front camera is blocked. No AEB warning telltale meaning no warning light appears in the instrument cluster. An additional pop-up appears for around 10 seconds at each key on/key off (Driving Assistance Sensor Blind: clean sensor see User Manual). The Automatic Emergency Braking system is operating in a degraded mode but remains functional due to radar support. Remedy: To rectify this issue we will update the Vehicle System Management software
