Not with you driving it Zack!

Quite a scary recall list there

[Wickedredc2]

front axel may detach - slightly worrying especially if you have kids in the car

[cyclone]

Good thing it has a 5 star crash rating. http://www.euroncap.com/results/citr.../2009/378.aspx
just hope you never need it!

Can I just add that if you are affect by any of the above you will receive notification from Citroen before it even makes onto the VOSA website.

If you have bought your DS3 used and not from an Select Used Citroen Dealer then you can contact your local dealership who will be happy to run your VIN against the Citroen Service system.
