Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain Citroën vehicles equipped with Takata airbags are subject to a recall due to a defect in the propellant airbag inflator. The inflator may degrade over time when exposed to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling. If an airbag deploys in an affected vehicle, the degraded inflator could experience excessive internal pressure, causing the inflator body to rupture and release metal fragments through the airbag cushion, potentially injuring occupants. The affected models include the C3 V3, C4 V2, DS4 (B7), DS3, and DS5 (B81), identified by specific approval model codes.
The manufacturer, Citroën, initiated this recall effective September 16, 2020. The recall was notified by France and involves removing the affected vehicles from end users. The source does not specify what consumers should do to have their vehicles remedied or how to contact the manufacturer regarding this recall.

The propellant airbag inflator may experience a material alteration over time due to degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high-temperature cycling. In the event of an airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the occupants. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
