The Citroën Ami is undergoing two successive recalls, while the Fiat Topolino is also facing issues.

In an automotive world where every vibration can trigger cries of outrage, the Citroën Ami continues to surprise. What could be more delightful than an electric quadricycle, at a low price, that finds itself caught in an intoxicating dance of successive recalls? Yes, two recalls! As if the little car with chevrons was trying to collect the maximum number of small disappointments among its owners. To top it all off, its sparkling cousin Fiat Topolino joins in this waltz. What could possibly go wrong?

Citroën Ami: The Label Dilemma

The first recall operation, cleverly designated NM8, concerns an undisclosed number of models. However, rumors suggest that it could affect up to 2,191 Citroën and 402 Fiat Topolino, manufactured between July and September 2024. What a bittersweet melody it is that suggests the label at the bottom of the passenger seat might have a ridiculous name. A slip-up that seems trivial, yet could turn a simple trip to the bakery into an administrative adventure, a true cry of despair in the realm of regulatory compliance.

Batteries and Labels: The Saga Continues!

As if that weren't enough, the second campaign NM9, which became known a few weeks later, concerns only the Citroën Ami. 543 models from 2024, of which 192 are gracing French soil, have escaped having a CE marking on their 48 V battery. One might believe there's a contest of incompetence among manufacturers to see who can have the most problems to resolve! And in these tales of automotive woes, it's hard to suppress a snicker when thinking of safety, that noble virtue, undermined by a simple oversight.

Why Do These Recalls Seem So Mundane?

Ah, the little Ami, with its dreams of urban grandeur, is now reduced to apologizing to its owners for such trivial defects. These interventions, although minor, remind everyone that even in the world of small electric cars, the devil is in the details. At a time when Fiat and Citroën are trying to establish themselves as champions of electromobility, who would have thought they would instead be crowned with a crown of recalls?

A Modern Era Mystery

The announced interventions will be swift, according to the promises of the manufacturers. The affected, finally safe, will receive a registered letter, like one sends a death notice. But how can one remain calm in the face of a recall on a car whose reliability has been marred by youthful habits? The road's oracles wonder: should one really rush to the garage for a label that, let's face it, will have little impact on this promising yet sometimes chaotic drive? Another model might well enchant the hearts of city dwellers, but who knows if the curse will also touch this new promise?
