What is this? This is about some small Peugeot and Citroën vans. A part inside the rear suspension may not be strong enough.

What's happening? The weak part could crack when the van is used a lot. This could hurt someone.

Does this affect me? If you own one of these vans in France or Spain, you might be at risk.

What should I do? Take your van to a garage right away. Ask your mechanic or dealer what to do next.
