⚠️ Stellantis Recalls 📣 Vehicles with 1.5 HDI Engine (2017–2023) 🔧🚗
by Car Registrations Spain 🇪🇸 🇪🇺
After several issues with the 1.5 HDI engine used between 2017 and 2023, Stellantis has decided to launch a recall for the affected vehicles.
🛠️ The engine, found in models from Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel/Vauxhall, Fiat, and Peugeot, has a defect involving the timing chain that connects to the camshaft. Due to excessive wear, the chain may break prematurely.
📅 All cars built between October 2017 and January 2023 with this engine will be recalled. During that time, the chain used was 7 mm wide, which is prone to issues and is to be replaced by a more durable 8 mm version, which doesn’t show early wear.
🧪 The inspection process will be simple:
- All affected vehicles will be brought to official brand workshops.
- Technicians will run a sound diagnosis test to detect any abnormal engine noise.
- If no noise is detected → the engine will be reprogrammed to reduce the risk of failure.
- If unusual noise is present → the chain will be replaced.
⏳ However, the process will take a long time due to the large number of vehicles involved.
🚗 Thousands are expected to be affected, especially in countries like France.
