Recalls: Peugeot 2008
Overview
Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.
Recalls:
- In June 2014, a recall was issued for Peugeot 2008 vehicles because mounting/fixing bolts for the front suspension wishbone may not be the correct specification. As a result, parts may break and pose an accident risk to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please seePRA 2014/14184.
- In March 2016, a recall was issued for Peugeot 2008 vehicles because the travel of the parking brake lever may have been incorrectly set – this could lead to the parking brake being ineffective unless the customer pulled up the lever all the way. If not, there was a risk that the Peugeot 2008 may not remain stationary when parked and pose a risk of injury to persons or damage to property (PRA 2016/15248).
2014-17 Peugeot A94 2008: loss of power braking assistance
In April 2021, recall campaign JZR was issued for Peugeot A94 2008 vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 September 2014 to 30 June 2017. In these vehicles, a reduction of available vaccum in the braking system – due to degradation of the timing belt if affected by aged engine oil – coudl result in lost or reduced power braking assistance. While the vehicle’s brakes would still be operable if power assistance was reduced or lost, there was an increased risk of a collision which could result in injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. As part of the recall, the vehicle was to be inspected, its software updated and any affected parts were to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2021/18807.
2017-18 Peugeot A94 2008: ageing oil could affect timing belt and brake vacuum pump
In May 2023, recall campaign KGGKGH was issued for 2017-20 Peugeot A94 2008 vehicles. In these vehicles, ageing of the engine oil could cause material to detach from the timing belt and this could affect operation of the brake vacuum pump. If left unrepaired, this condition may result in a reduction or loss of power braking assistance – this could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and/or other road users. To fix, a software update was to be applied which improved the vacuum diagnosis to provide an earlier warning about the risk of loss or reduction of braking assistance. Furthermore, the timing belt would be checked and, if needed, replaced with other components of the braking assistance system and the vacuum pump. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005686.
