Car dealers halt sales of two second-hand models amid 'stop-drive' warning
Car dealers have been told to halt sales of second-hand Citroens amid replacements to potentially dangerous airbags. The warning was extended after the French manufacturer's parent company Stellantis issued a 'stop-drive' notice to certain Citroen models in June. It comes after a woman sustained fatal injuries caused by an airbag in a 2014 Citroen C3 in Reims, France, last year. Now, second-hand Citroens are also being included in the warning amid thousands still being listed for sale across the UK, according to This is Money. 'Buyers could have been driving away in potentially dangerous motors while also invalidating their insurance,' an article states. Since then, a team of motor trade lawyers have now issued a nationwide warning to used car dealers to suspend sales of vehicles in stock What Citroens are being recalled? The vehicles affected are second-generation Citroen C3s produced from 2009 to 2016 and first-generation DS3s manufactured from 2016 to 2019. As a result, around 82,000 C3 and DS3 models have been removed from the road across France. What is the recall on the Citroen C3 2025? The vehicles use Takata airbag systems, which could be faulty. However, Stellantis UK said that there were no reported incidents of faults in the UK, but it has decided to take action regardless. The car manufacturer in a recent statement said: 'Stellantis UK is mobilising its full network of suppliers, retailers and manufacturing plant to support this action to ensure the fastest, safest and most convenient solution for each customer. 'Stellantis remains fully committed to acting swiftly, transparently, and responsibly in addressing this issue.' Owners have been told to book their vehicles in to be rectified as early as possible and to not drive them in the meantime. However, a study by Which? revealed that hundreds of these cars were listed for sale on major used vehicle websites with no information that the manufacturer had issued a stop-drive notice. How do I check my Citroen recall? If you already own an affected Citroen, you should be contacted by letter, or you can check whether your car is affected by using the VIN check tool on Citroen's website.

New Technical Jewelry Symposium To Premiere At Vicenzaoro Jewelry Fair
The Science of jewelry making and adornment will be part of the September Vicenzaoro jewelry fair For the first time in its 70-year history, the Vicenzaoro jewelry trade fair will host an adjacent gathering dedicated to metallurgy and jewelry manufacturing processes. Called the Vicenza Symposium, it will be held September 2 -4 Vicenza, Italy, prior to Vicenzaoro on September 5 -7. Both events are B2B focused, open only to the jewelry trade. The Vicenza Symposium is modeled after the Santa Fe Symposium with the objective of advancing jewelry making technology, the science of adornment if you will. The three-day event is modeled after the Santa Fe Symposium, founded in 1987 by Eddie Bell, the retired CEO of Rio Grande, an Albuquerque, N.M., company the manufactures, markets and sells jewelry-making supplies. He held his last symposium in 2022 following his retirement. By this time, it was the world's most important event on the technology and science of metallurgy and jewelry making, attracting professionals from around the world. This new event is an attempt to maintain the community that Bell established. In fact, Bell was named honorary president and will deliver opening remarks. There will be 21 white papers delivered during the three-day event on artificial intelligence, 3D printing and other highly technical topics. Presentations will range from 'Gold in the Age of SLM-CNC Interface,' and 'Cracks, pores and other defects in jewellery – their causes and their prevention' to 'Potential of Pt-and-pd-based Bulk Metallic Glasses for Jewellery applications.' It is fitting that it's established the Italian gold jewelry center of Vicenza, known as much for the technology of goldsmithing and jewelry making as well as it is for manufacturing jewels in the tradition of Italian design and style. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Familiar Names at Vicenzaoro When Vicenzaoro opens September 5 at the IEG's Expo Centre, it will once again be a showplace for internationally known Italian jewelry brands such as Roberto Coin, Annamaria Cammilli, Damiani, Nanis, Fope and Crivelli. The revival of the historic Marina B jewelry brand will also be a focus of the show. The fair attracts important jewelers from Europe and other parts of the world as well including Schreiner Fine Jewellery from Germany, Fabergé from the UK, Etho Maria from Greece, Carrera Y Carrera from Spain, and Statement Paris and D1928 from France. Outside Europe, the Australian pearl jewelry company, Autore, will present its new high jewelry and fine jewelry designs. One of the returning features of Vicenzaoro is 'The Design Room,' for independent high-end designers. This is one of the very few international venues where these designers can have a proper place to show their creations as most international jewelry shows focus on large manufacturers. These designers reinterpret jewelry with unique and exclusive creations. Among the best-known names are Alessio Boschi, whose creations combine culture, history and architecture; Mike Joseph, who focuses of geometric design studded with diamonds; Antonini Milano for lovers of pure yet structured lines; and Karen Suen who combines modern glam with classic jewelry techniques. In addition, there's 'The 8' project, a creation of Boschi, fellow jewelry designers Alessia Crivelli and Luca Daverio, and the goldsmith foundation, Mani Intelligenti. The project promotes new Italian and international jewelry talents. There's also a specific space for the watchmaking brands and accessories, a growing sector of the trade fair with more than 40 exhibitors. All totaled the September Vicenzaoro jewelry trade fair is expected to attract more than 450 buyers from 60 countries who will view the products and services of approximately 1,200 exhibitors from 35 countries. In its 70th year, Vicenzaoro claims to be the world's longest-running jewelry trade event. Vicenzaoro is held twice each year. Following the September show the next fair will be held January 16 – 20, 2026. Vicenzaoro and the Vicenza Symposium is owned and operated by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), an international trade show company based in Rimini, Italy.
