What can go wrong

An engine component may not be to specification which could result in loss of engine performance. This may lead to the engine stalling and potentially causing an engine failure. In very unlikely circumstances the vehicle speed may increase without warning but will stop on its own after a few seconds.

The fix

On affected vehicles carry out a functional diagnostic check of the engine. If necessary replace the engine.

Models and build dates

As listed in the DVSA recall file. DVSA lists the same vehicle number on each line: 198. It may be a figure per line or for the whole recall.

Citroen Spacetourer	1 October 2017 to 30 November 2017	198

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
