Investing.com – Stellantis confirmed on Wednesday that it has launched a recall affecting roughly 700,000 vehicles worldwide due to a fire risk.

The recall announced by Germany’s KBA regulator on Tuesday covers vehicles produced between mid-2023 and early 2026. Affected models include cars from the Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, Alfa Romeo and Lancia brands.

According to the notice published by the KBA regulator, these vehicles should be inspected to rule out a possible defect that could allow water to enter the engine compartment, which in turn could lead to a fire.

In a statement, Stellantis said customer safety is a core value. The company will provide free service to address the issue, which is expected to take about 30 minutes to complete.
