Recall JTC

[Izzug]

Just had a recall notice in the post yesterday.  "Your vehicle may have an engine control fault" ...."this may lead to a missing warning in the Instrument panel in case of adblue overpressure " ...."this may lead to noncompliance to emission regulations "
Has anyone heard or had this issue?  (Recall code JTC) I'll get it done in the next few weeks, doesn't sound to urgent,  just curious as to what it is..
Thanks.

Update, did a bit of digging this morning and found this...

2023 – 08 – 28Citroen Berlingo (2019 – 2022)Recall # JTC

A software error in the engine control unit prevents the malfunction indicator light (MIL) from switching on if the urea injector stops working. This can lead to higher emissions and poses a risk to the environment.

The Citroen Berlingo vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 16 June 2020 and 6 July 2022.

How long did it take and have you noticed any difference?

I have this issue hopefully fixed in a 2019 unit. The cat was replaced a month ago or so plus new management software flashed.

I just left it with them for the morning. No difference that I noticed.

I had the new ECU software applied 20/5/24 prior to upgrade avg mpg for 4345 miles was 59.11 mpg. Post application dropped to 54.96 mpg for 4271 miles.

Also had a DPF failure in Oct and noticed regens are averaging around every 60 miles, no better since DPF was replaced.

Not sure but ECU upgrade may have impacted passive regen parameters calling for more frequent regens with knock on effect of using more fuel.

Highlighted to dealership but unfortunately very difficult to speak directly to a knowledgeable service engineer.
