Citroen recalls C5 aluminium wheels

Citroen is recalling 900,000 aluminium rims, fitted to 180,000 C5 models sold before May this year, as a preventative measure. The wheels were manufactured by Michelin subsidiary Kronprinz (Solingen/Germany), who will bear the cost of producing replacements. The recall will be handled via the Euromaster and Viborg chains and analysts estimate that the total cost will be over 20 million Euro.
