active

2014–2017 PEUGEOT 208, 2008, 308

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: INCHCAPE EUROPEAN AUTOMOTIVE PTY LIMITED

Recall date: 31 March 2021

Defect

The braking system’s power assistance may be lost or reduced. This is due to a reduction of available vacuum in the system due to degradation of the timing belt if affected by aged engine oil.

Hazard

While the brakes will still be operable, if power assistance is reduced or lost, there is an increased risk of a collision, which could result in injury or death of vehicle occupants and/or other road users.

Remedy

Consumers will be contacted by Peugeot Australia and requested to contact Peugeot Australia to arrange to visit a dealership for a vehicle inspection, software update and replacement of any affected parts.
