Just over a week ago, I suffered a broken O/S front spring on my 2009 (late) C3. It caused a blow out of the front tyre. Luckily I was driving at low speed at the time and not driving on the motorway going to work. I've seen information on the web about earlier recalls, but I have never received a recall for my car. I took the car to the local Citroen dealer who called me four days later to say that Citroen gave them the go ahead to fit two new front coils springs and there would be no cost to me as it was a goodwill gesture because I have the car regularly serviced by the dealer and have had it since new. I'm not impressed by those comments, nor for the fact that if I have been driving the car at high speed when the spring broken. That could have been fatal. This isn't the first safety issue I have had with the car. The first was a loose steering wheel nut. I expect to get the car back from repair today and I am going to report this to VOSA.
