Stellantis is recalling more than 13,000 Expert and Traveller vehicles in France due to a software defect in the AdBlue system. The recall covers K0 models built between 17 May 2022 and 29 January 2024, including Citroën Spacetourer/Jumpy, Peugeot Traveller/Expert, Opel Vivaro/Zafira, Fiat Scudo and Toyota Proace. The issue is that a diagnostic function related to the emission control system may not meet regulatory requirements. The fix is a free software update taking about 30 minutes. Owners of camper vans based on these vans should check their vehicle's status using the VIN. A second recall addresses a fire risk in the engine bay, affecting vehicles built between 6 June 2025 and 22 January 2026.

Coastal municipalities in Brittany, including Quiberon and Lamballe-Armor, are imposing restrictions on overnight motorhome parking due to record tourist numbers. The measures aim to combat wild camping and ease traffic. Associations like the Comité de Liaison du Camping-car are challenging some bans in court, citing freedom of movement. Tourists can use paid service areas with water and electricity, and face fines for violations, such as €120 for an unpaid toll.

Challenger has introduced the Sport Edition S114 camper van based on the Citroën Jumper, priced at €51,490. The vehicle measures 5.99 m in length and 2.05 m in width. It features a transverse double bed, a new Vario bathroom with a sliding wall, a multifunctional table, a compressor fridge, and diesel heating. The model is positioned as an affordable option in the camper segment, with a similar version available from Chausson under the Sportline name.
