Recalls: Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC
2004 Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: front suspension rectification
In August 2004, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles manufactured from May 2004 to June 2004 to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front suspension pivot(s) and pivot ball joint(s). This action was necessary to eliminate the risk of a vehicle trajectory outside the manufacturer’s specifications (PRA 2004/7181).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: limp mode and reduced braking assistance
In May 2005, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles due to potential breakage of the throttle stop due to oscillation of the motorised throttle valve. If the throttle stop broke, the engine could enter the emergency program phase (limp mode) with a possible reduction in braking assistance. The affected vehicles were in the VIN range VF33BRFKC83348447 to VF33BRFKC83876354 (PRA 2005/7737).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: velour floor mats to be replaced
In June 2005, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles fitted with plush velour floor mats. In these vehicles, the mats were to be replaced to eliminate the risk of the mat coming into contact with the accelerator pedal (PRA 2005/7806).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: potential brake fluid loss
In December 2005, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC due to potential rubbing of the brake pipe cradle and brake pipe, causing a loss of fluid (PRA 2005/8245).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: rear chassis components
In June 2006, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC due to the rear cross-member and the rear small side members not complying with the manufacturer’s specifications in a limited number of vehicles (PRA 2006/8577).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: defective EGR valve
In June 2006, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles due to the exhaust gas recirculation valve, which could cause hard starting/stalling and cause the engine diagnostics warning light to illuminate on the instrument panel (PRA 2006/8548).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: engine coolant temperature sensor could crack
In April 2007, a recall was issued for certain Peugeot 307 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 the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2007/9211.
In May 2007, this 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).
2008 Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: defective engine relay unit
In December 2008, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC models manufactured from February 2008 to June 2008 due to the engine relay unit being incorrectly specified and therefore vulnerable to deterioration over time. This could cause operating faults and, potentially, the failure of other equipment (PRA 2008/10531).
Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: exterior lights could cut out #1
In October 2009, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles to download a new version of vehicle exterior lighting software to present the lighting switch position from being incorrectly detected by the lighting management system. In some cases, this could cause the exterior light to inadvertently cut out without any input from the driver (PRA 2009/11182).
2006-08 Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: exterior lights could cut out #2
In October 2010, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC models manufactured from December 2006 to February 2008. These vehicles had been subject to a previous recall campaign (PRA 2009/11182, above) to download new lighting control software; there was a possibility that the upgrade did not complete satisfactorily and that another upgrade was required. Without the upgrade, the lighting switch position may be incorrectly detected, potentially causing the exterior light to inadvertently cut-out without any input from the driver. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2010/12066.
2006-09 Peugeot T5/T6 307 CC: potential loss of power braking assistance
In March 2011, a recall was issued for Peugeot 307 CC models manufactured from December 2006 to September 2009. In these vehicles, a manufacturing defect in the valve on the vacuum pump in the brake assistance circuit could alter the vehicle’s braking distance. For the VINs of the vehicles affected, please see PRA 2011/12394.

2003-05 Peugeot T5 307 CC: water in spare wheel well could disable airbags
In 2015, Peugeot UK issued a ‘non-code action’ for Peugeot 307 CC vehicles that were manufactured from 10 December 2003 to 21 March 2005. In these Peugeot 307 CC vehicles, the drain in the spare wheel well could become blocked and allow water to accumulate in the wheel well. If this occurred, water could enter the airbag ECU – this could cause an issue with the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and cause the airbag warning light on the instrument panel to illuminate. To rectify this defect, the spare wheel well drain plug was to be replaced. The affected Peugeot 307 CC vehicles had VINs in the range VF33BNFUC83357422 to VF33BRFNF84048018 (NCA/2015/005).
Problems and faults: Peugeot 307 CC
- For the Peugeot 307 CC, there have been instances of various electrical faults and failures (e.g. hard starting, steering column stalk, trip computer, service indicator, etc) involving the Multiplex wiring.
- The door windows may lower by 10-12 mm when the door handles are grasped so that the window is below the level of the roof seals and enables the doors to open; this may also occur when driving.
- For early models, water could enter the ABS ECU and cause it to fail.
