Stellantis Announces Recall in Brazil for Peugeot 2008, Citroën Basalt, C3 Aircross, and Fiat Titano. Issues Range from Intake Manifold Failures to Fire Risks and Unintentional Airbag Deployments. Repairs Are Free and Can Be Scheduled Now

Stellantis has announced a major recall affecting models from the brands Peugeot, Citroën, and Fiat in Brazil. The action was taken after identifying faults that could compromise the safety and performance of the vehicles.

Owners must schedule repairs at authorized dealerships to avoid greater risks.

Among the recalled cars are the Citroën Basalt and C3 Aircross, both from year/model 2025, as well as the Peugeot 2008, also from 2025.

Higher Risk in Fiat Titano Models

The most delicate situation involves the Fiat Titano pickup, manufactured in 2024 and 2025. The automaker identified the risk of wear on the front central wiring harness, caused by friction with the instrument panel support.

This wear could lead to fire or even unintentional deployment of the side and curtain airbags on the passenger side, significantly increasing the possibility of serious accidents.

To rectify the fault, an additional protector will be installed on the harness, along with supplemental checks. In this case, the repair takes about one hour.

How to Schedule the Repair

Stellantis emphasizes that all owners must schedule appointments in advance to ensure repairs are handled within each dealership’s availability.

Below are the chassis details and contact channels for each brand:

Peugeot 2008 (2025): chassis from SG559007 to SG576773. Scheduling through the official Peugeot website or by phone at 0800 703 2424 (Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 8 PM).
Citroën Basalt and C3 Aircross (2025): chassis from SB547003 to SB547150 and SB546266 to SB546303. Scheduling through the Citroën website or by phone at 0800 011 8088 (Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 8 PM).

How to Schedule the Repair

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

The world opens its eyes to PIX invented in Brazil after the system moved R$ 35.6 trillion, expanded in countries like France, Portugal, Argentina, and Paraguay, and threatened card giants like Visa and Mastercard with high growth and record adoption.

Balloon the size of a stadium spends 25 days alone over Antarctica at nearly 37 km altitude and returns with data on cosmic antimatter that may reveal one of the rarest clues ever sought about the existence of dark matter.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

While most dealerships in Brazil take days to deliver cars, in Germany two 48-meter glass towers hold 800 vehicles and release each model via automatic elevators in a few seconds.

Goodbye to workers assembling rebar on construction sites: intelligent robot carries and positions more than 2.2 tons of rebar per hour, ties 1,200 intersections per hour, and promises to cut up to 50% of the schedule in bridge construction projects.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.

New Fiat car replacing the Siena in Brazil has a range of up to 760 km, a trunk capacity of 525 liters, and a reduced price in a surprising campaign that makes the automatic sedan leave Chevrolet’s rival, the Onix Plus, behind among PcD buyers.

Toyota embarrassed: car from the brand receives zero safety rating even with airbags and stability control; naturally aspirated 1.5 hatch with up to 105 hp had structure considered unstable and insufficient protection for head and chest.
