In Brief

Consumer groups and a camper owners' club have filed a class action against Stellantis, alleging that diesel Fiat campers with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines contain defeat devices. The lawsuit demands free repairs and compensation.

Several consumer organisations and a camper owners' club have filed a class action lawsuit against Stellantis. The plaintiffs allege that diesel Fiat campers with Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines, produced from approximately 2009 to 2020, are equipped with software that manipulates emissions readings, causing them to exceed legal limits.

The organisations demand free repairs and compensation for the reduced value of the vehicles. In the summer of 2025, a court in Amsterdam already ruled that other Stellantis brands had sold vehicles with similar software in the Netherlands.

Several organizations have filed a collective claim against Stellantis over diesel motorhomes equipped with defeat devices.

The organizations allege the engines exceed permitted emission levels, reducing the vehicles' value.

A Dutch consumer organization has filed a lawsuit against Stellantis, alleging that thousands of motorhomes with Fiat Ducato diesel engines, produced between 2009 and 2019, may have been equipped with illegal software to manipulate emission data. The plaintiffs claim this means the vehicles may not comply with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards. Stellantis strongly denies all allegations, stating its technology complied with all applicable regulations at the time.

On Tuesday afternoon, a caravan stalled on the N69 near Valkenswaard after loose wheel bolts caused a wheel to tilt, leaving a rubber mark on the asphalt. Emergency services tightened the bolts, then towed the caravan to a safe spot, where it was uncoupled and loaded onto a tow truck. The owner was heading to a campsite but had to cancel the trip; the caravan was returned to Beek en Donk.

The VVD party in Ouder-Amstel has submitted written questions to the municipal executive about the parking lot at the Amstelbad swimming pool and SVO sports park. Several campers stay overnight almost every night, and commercial vans are also parked there. Campers use the pool's facilities and the public water tap at the SVO entrance, including for filling water tanks. A barrier previously hung over the entrance to prevent tall vehicles from entering, but it has been lying next to the entrance for months. The VVD suggests reinstalling the barrier as a simple and effective measure, along with enforcement, as the lot is intended for visitors to the pool, daycare, and sports fields, not as a free camper site.

Sjoerd Kuipers installs a Clesana toilet in a Hymer B680, using an L-adapter to connect to the original Thetford position without cutting. The power management system with a 4 Ah LFP battery charges via existing wiring and provides backup power, allowing the toilet to operate even when the house battery is empty. The installation involves removing the old toilet and connecting the new system.

Dutch engineers have unveiled a version of the UAZ Bukhanka with a pop-up roof, which is cheaper and has a familiar layout. Inside, there is a kitchen area with a sink and gas stove, cabinets, drawers under the sofa, and a portable table. The sofa converts into a sleeping area, and an awning is available on the side. A drawback is the dark interior due to opaque side panels without windows. In Russia, a similar project, the UAZ Baikal, did not progress beyond prototypes.
