- Models: Citroën Spacetourer, Citroën Jumpy
- Engine: DW10F EUR 6.4
- Production Dates: 11 July 2022 – 29 January 2024

A detailed table is provided below:

Details of the Fault
Citroën reports that affected vehicles may experience a diagnostic test issue related to urea consumption (AdBlue system). Specifically:
- The system may fail to properly detect under-consumption or injector blockage.
- This can result in the In-Use-Performance-Ratio (IUPR) falling below the regulatory threshold of 0.336.
- If the IUPR value is too low, the vehicle may not comply with emissions regulations.
This issue does not necessarily indicate immediate mechanical failure but represents a regulatory and emissions compliance fault that must be corrected.
Risks and Safety Concerns
While this recall does not involve a direct safety hazard such as braking or steering failure, there are still important implications:
- Regulatory non-compliance with emissions standards
- Potential warning messages or system malfunctions relating to the emissions control system
- Possible impact on vehicle performance or fuel efficiency
Maintaining emissions compliance is important both for environmental protection and for ensuring vehicles remain roadworthy under Irish and EU regulations.
What Owners Should Do
Citroën owners are advised to:
- Contact their local Citroën dealer or Citroën Ireland customer service as soon as possible.
- Schedule an inspection and software update or repair, which will be completed free of charge.
- Have the vehicle’s AdBlue and emissions system checked, if any dashboard warnings have appeared.
Dealers will perform updated diagnostic tests and apply the necessary fixes to ensure the IUPR stays above the legal threshold.

- Checking their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at:
🔹 Citroën Official Recall Checker - Contacting Citroën Ireland customer support
