Hey there just had a recall notice and all it says is Recall: MTR
Dealer does not know what it is but it's booked in for wed. Any ideas what it is?

If you stick your reg number in here,

you might be able to find out a bit more.

I have just checked mine on the site, 2010 C5 III VTR+ Nav 163 manual, no recall so yours may well be something to do with auto or the suspension as those are the main things that differ from mine.

Will be interested to know when you do find out.

Looked at the transport site as well tried all years for C5's but looking at all the recalls none had that code (click recalls number for more details and to see manufacturer code), I guess they have not updated their site to include that one yet.

I rang Citroen who say its the oil pump that needs replaced. Recall started in Feb but apparently they only do the notices in batches possibly by area so that's why it only shows up now.
Dvla site is down for me so can't see if it was one if the ones listed.
The new pump is to stop a warning message coming up on the dash. I have no message but have had one after it was serviced for a few times. And something about oil level appears on a generic diagnostic. So maybe related

On the brightside, it means you will get a free oil change, might save you a service.

Was only service a month or two ago. Hope they clean up after them this time. I thought it was leaking oil and I could smell the diesel from around 15 meters away after the last service!

I have a friend with the same car you and his reg does not come up with a recall so perhaps it is just the autos. Would they have a different oil pump to also cool the autobox or something?

Car back. Took them two days or so. Oil on the carpet but can't let them have it another day to remove that. No oil messages so far. Mess around oil filter again so they have had that out.
Hope that's the end of it!

Ok no faults logged and no oil pouring out. Not been able to check oil level yet but driven it a few miles. Dare I say it's ok?

Hope it really is okay!
I've got the 2.0HDi 138 manual, no recalls yet according to the website but I've subscribed myself on there and I'll keep an eye out. Funny, I would've though the engines were similar...

I think the issue with recalls and cars is different batches and even different manufacturers of the same part.
I guess car makers chop and change depending what price they are offered.

It's the first recall I have ever had.
