Recalls: Peugeot T1 206 CC
- In June 2002, a recall was issued for Peugeot T1 206 CC vehicles due to possible misalignment of the steering column shroud, causing the ignition key to be held in the starter motor cranking position (PRA 2002/5407).
- In March 2004, a recall was issued for Peugeot T1 206 CC models manufactured from April 1999 to March 2002 clips on the brake pedal and booster actuating rod potentially not being fitted correctly, posing a risk of failure (PRA 2004/6844).
- In October 2004, a recall was issued for Peugeot T1 206 CC vehicles manufactured from September 2003 to April 2004. These vehicles required a software download for the engine control unit (ECU) to eliminate oscillation of the motorised throttle valve which, in rare cases, could brake the throttle stop and cause the engine to enter its emergency program ‘limp home’ phase (PRA 2004/7274).
- In December 2004, this recall was re-issued for vehicles manufactured from October 2003 to October 2004 (PRA 2004/7438).
- In October 2004, a recall was issued for Peugeot T1 206 CC vehicles manufactured from May 2003 to August 2003. In these vehicles, a software fault necessitated a BSI software download to eliminate the possible inadvertent and continuous activation of the horn after pressing the high frequency button on the vehicle’s remote locking control; this activation could destroy the horn (PRA 2004/7277).
- In April 2007, a recall was issued for certain Peugeot T1 206 CC models due to a condition in which the engine coolant temperature sensor could crack, causing the coolant temperature warning light to come on inadvertently and, in rare cases, cause engine operating faults, damage to the ECU and its harness. For a list of the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2007/9211.
- In May 2007, the recall was re-issued (PRA 2007/9246) and, in October 2007, the recall was issued for models fitted with the 1.6-litre four-cylinder TU5JP4 petrol engine (PRA 2007/9575).
