Does a recall affect your Citroën C6?

Not every Citroën C6 is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Launched 28 July 2008 DVSA recall R/2008/115 Manufacturer ref. yhw

Defect
It has been identified that the diesel fuel return pipe which is fixed to the inlet manifold may be abraded to the extent that if left undetected will leak.

2006 1 recall

Possibility of fuel leak

Launched 11 December 2006 DVSA recall R/2006/214 Manufacturer ref. XZS

Defect
It has been identified that on certain vehicles a fault may be present on the diesel fuel circuit return pipe ay the location of the pressure sensor.In the manufacture of the pipe an excess of material resulted in a reduction of the pipe's internal diameter therefore restricting the fuel flow and a risk of a diesel leak from the fuel connector.
Remedy
Subject vehicles will have the diesel fuel delivery pressure in the injection pump checked. This will check the conformity of the pipe which in the case of nonconformity will be replaced.
Vehicles affected
126 C6 vehicles

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Citroën C6. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
