Stellantis recalls K0 vans over AdBlue software fault

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.

Vire Normandie motorhome area gets poor online ratings over dirt and lack of power

The motorhome service area in Vire Normandie (Calvados) has received negative online reviews due to overflowing bins and no electricity hookups. Travelers stopping there note that the town has installed a waste disposal point and water access, but no power connection. The municipality estimates that between 6 and 12 motorhomes pass through daily, with each visitor spending around 39 euros per day, contributing significantly to the local economy.

Court orders squatter to leave rugby field in Gironde

A judge at the administrative court of Bordeaux ordered a man who had illegally set up a caravan, chickens and a barbecue on the sports field in Saint-Sauveur (Gironde) to vacate the premises. The neighboring commune of Pauillac, which owns the land, filed a complaint on July 17, 2026, arguing that the site was intended for sports activities and that the camp posed a fire risk. The judge noted the presence of fire pits, unauthorized electrical connections, and unsanitary conditions, including chickens and a vegetable garden. The occupant, who did not appear in court, must leave immediately and pay 288 euros in legal costs.
