Recalls: Peugeot T9 308 Touring
Peugeot T9 308 Touring: front suspension bolts could break
In March 2016, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles because the front suspension wishbone mounting bolts may not meet specifications and could break – if this occurred, the loss of directional control could pose an accident hazard to the driver and other road users (PRA 2016/15247).
Peugeot T9 308 Touring: manufacturing flaw for door locks
In June 2016, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles because a manufacturing flaw for the door locks could cause the internal mechanism of one or more locks to jam – this could prevent one or more of the doors from closing, or expose them to unexpected unlocking and opening.

2014 Peugeot T9 308 Touring: potential fuel leak
In July 2016, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 vehicles that were manufactured from 15 January 2014 to 12 June 2014. In these vehicles, the fuel injector supply rail could develop a leak that causes a drop in fuel pressure – this could affect the operation of the stop/start system. In extreme cases, the engine may not restart and petrol could be sprayed over hot areas in the engine bay, posing a fire hazard. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2016/15567.

In June 2017, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 2 January 2015 to 31 January 2015. In these vehicles, the front wishbone bolts may not be to the correct specification and may break. If this occurred, the wheels could tilt and the driver may experience reduced steering control – this would pose a hazard to the driver and other road users. For the recalled vehicles, replacement bolts were to be installed. For the VINs of the recalled Peugeot T9 308 vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16142.

In July 2017, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles that were available for sale prior to 31 March 2017. In these vehicles, the 12 volt connection lug for the starter motor may have been fitted incorrectly such that it could contact a metal component and cause a short circuit, posing a fire hazard. For the VINs of the recalled Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16180.
2014-15 Peugeot T9 308 Touring: engine may overheat and seize
In March 2018, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles that were available for sale from 1 November 2014 to 30 April 2015. In these vehicles, the cooling strategy and maximum temperature alert could cause the engine to overheat. If the engine seized while the vehicle was being driven, the vehicle could stop suddenly, posing a collision hazard for vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16632.
2017-18 Peugeot T9 308 Touring Diesel: engine may overheat
In August 2018, a recall was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring vehicles that had diesel engines and were available for sale in Australia from 1 September 2017 to 1 May 2018. In these vehicles, the cooling strategy and maximum temperature alert could cause the engine to overheat. If the engine overheated and the engine seized while the vehicle was being driven, the vehicle could stop suddenly such that it would pose a collision risk for vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16948.
2014-17 Peugeot T9 308 Touring: loss of power braking assistance
In April 2021, recall campaign JZR was issued for Peugeot T9 308 Touring 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.
2017-20 Peugeot T9 308 Touring: ageing oil could affect timing belt and brake vacuum pump
In May 2023, recall campaign KGGKGH was issued for 2017-20 Peugeot T9 308 Touring 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.
