Citroën recalls by VIN
Citroën no longer sells new vehicles in the US. NHTSA still lists the recalls of the models it sold here, so a US-market Citroën can be checked by VIN at NHTSA. A Citroën imported from Europe or elsewhere is not covered: ask a Citroën dealer abroad or search the EU Safety Gate portal.

Which VIN codes does a Citroën have?
The first three characters (WMI) of a Citroën VIN are usually one of these: VF7 – Citroën, France; VR7 – Citroën (code used since 2020). A VIN with another code is not necessarily wrong, since makers change codes over time, but decode it to see what it says.
