CITROEN announced a problem with the C1 affecting a total of 34 vehicles.
It has been identified that within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal, there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditions,the contact surfaces may generated excessive friction, and latterly, the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time, and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances, the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
Recalled vehicles will have a reinforcing plate fitted within the accelerator pedal mechanism, which will ensure continued correct functionality.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest CITROEN dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
