This latest recall was triggered by a fatal crash on June 11. A French woman was killed after suffering injuries from the Takata airbag in a 2014 Citroen C3. The French transport ministry has also called for all affected vehicles to be taken off the road.
These latest recalls will add to the number of vehicles with Takata airbags that Stellantis has had to replace. Currently, 481,000 vehicles in the country have been repaired out of a total of 690,000. If all of the vehicles in the Citroen C3 and DS3 have their airbags replaced, that number would grow to 563,000.
Stellantis 2025 Recalls
Stellantis has issued several recalls in 2025 as issues have plagued its vehicles. That includes:
235,640 Ram ProMaster vans with faulty rearview camera systems.
48,494 Alfa Romeo and Dodge SUVs that suffered the same issue with their cameras.
33,777 Ram 1500 trucks with headlight failure issues.
10,396 Ram 1500 pickup trucks with tire pressure monitor errors.
With no shortage of recalls this year, customers may be growing frustrated with Stellantis. That's doubly true with a fatal accident as the source of its latest recall. This could lower public opinion of the company and affect sales.
Is STLA Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Stellantis is Hold, based on three Buy, 10 Hold, and a single Sell rating over the past three months. With that comes an average STLA stock price target of $11.10, representing a potential 16.23% upside for the shares.

Nearly 1,000 Ships' GPS Jammed Near Iran Daily, Navy Group Says
(Bloomberg) -- Close to 1,000 ships a day are seeing their GPS signals jammed near Iran's coast, according to a French naval liaison group. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown The disruption makes it harder to navigate safely at night, in poor visibility or when there's heavy shipping traffic, the MICA Center, which promotes co-operation between navies and commercial shipping said in a post on X. On average 970 vessels have had their signals jammed daily since June 13, it said. It's likely the disruption was an aggravating factor in the fiery crash between the Front Eagle and Adalynn oil tankers earlier this week, the center said, adding that the exact causes of the collision have yet to be determined. Heavy disruption to GPS signal as vessels navigate the narrow Strait of Hormuz has been one of the main impacts on global shipping since Israel attacked Iran last week. About a fifth of the world's oil flows through the narrow waterway, making it a vital chokepoint for energy supplies.

How BeReal plans to recapture its 2022 viral moment
BeReal, the buzziest app of 2022, is planning a comeback. Ben Moore, BeReal's managing director, told BI how the app plans to recapture its viral moment. This article is part of " CMO Insider," a series on marketing leadership and innovation. BeReal is plotting a comeback. In 2022, the app was the toast of the consumer tech world. It won "App of the Year" at Apple's App Store awards. SNL even featured the app in a skit, making fun of its signature "Time to BeReal" notification, which prompts users to quickly snap a photo with their phone's front and back-facing cameras. But it didn't take long for the hype to fade. Usage and downloads tapered off after its peak, and the app was sold to the French app and gaming company Voodoo Games for 500 million euros last summer. One year later, BeReal is preparing its comeback. Speaking to Business Insider at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France, BeReal managing director Ben Moore said the app is adding new features and ramping up marketing as it looks to get lapsed users to return and find new ones. "We have people that are committed to building the next big thing with BeReal," Moore said. "We can make something that really answers the demands of Gen Z, who are sick and tired of the filters, of the lenses, of the social pressure of posting something that's not going to get them the level of views and likes they would want." Time to ReLaunch According to the market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, BeReal has amassed more than 126 million downloads since its launch in 2020. In the year-to-date, though, the app was downloaded about 4.5 million times globally, down 50% year-on-year and 7% versus the same period in 2023, "as heightened competition from legacy social media platforms and short-form video platforms has pressured adoption," said Abraham Yousef, senior insights analyst at Sensor Tower. Moore said the app currently has around 40 million active users, and that Japan, France, and the US are its biggest markets. BeReal is hoping to reignite interest in the app by investing in advertising, largely on other apps owned by Voodoo Games, and also through tactics like using micro ambassadors at college campuses, or sponsoring parties that require guests to download the app to gain entry. "We really want to bring back the social aspect of what social media was built for," Moore said. BeReal is also adding new features like "nearby," which lets people discover other users local to them. Another feature analyzes the photos users take to recommend other people who post similar kinds of pictures, such as of their dogs, travels, or cooking. Moore said BeReal, which introduced ads last year, also wants to prioritize ads on the app that look and feel more like users' own posts. Gareth Jones, chief growth officer of the creative agency Ralph, said BeReal's success would hinge on living up to the promise of its name and playing into the idea of being an antidote to modern social media. "We live in an age of asinine algorithms and addictive social garbage," Jones said. "If BeReal can bring an element of humanity back to the social media space, this will create more success than any amount of marketing."

Saint-Étienne manager ‘expects' Lucas Stassin to stay at club
AS Saint-Étienne look set to dig their heels in. Despite relegation to Ligue 2, the club want to keep hold of their star asset, Lucas Stassin (20). As revealed by L'Équipe on Thursday, Les Verts have slapped a €20m price tag on the Belgian, who in his first season in French football excelled, finishing the campaign with 12 goals and five assists in Ligue 1. However, his goals could not prevent ASSE from dropping back down to Ligue 2. They finished the season second from bottom, ahead of Montpellier HSC. Advertisement However, despite the setback, Saint-Étienne are not in a precarious financial situation, unlike other relegated sides, Montpellier and Stade de Reims. Due to the takeover from Kilmer Sports Ventures last summer, they are not obliged to sell off key assets, such as Stassin and Zuriko Davitashvili, also valued at around €20m. They could, therefore, look to retain Stassin, a target for Premier League sides. 'I'm expecting Lucas to be there next season,' said Eirik Horneland in a press conference transcribed by Foot Mercato's Sébastien Denis. 'I think he'll say because he is a good player. He has a contract (until 2028). His situation doesn't depend on him; it depends on us,' he added. Time will tell whether ASSE's stance breeds conflict. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
