PSA Peugeot Citroen recalls 97,000 cars across Europe
February 1st, 2010 - 5:03 pm ICT by IANSParis, Feb 1 (DPA) French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen confirmed Monday that it was recalling 97,000 of its cars in Europe because of problems with a sticking accelerator pedal.
The recall mirrors a similar one made by Toyota last week. In both cases, the sticking pedal can cause the car to accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly.
The vehicles were manufactured in the Czech Republic at a factory that produces both Toyota and PSA cars.
In a statement confirming a spokesman’s comments made Saturday, the company said that the recall involves 10 percent of Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 models in circulation in Europe.
