28 recalls for eleven Peugeot models in 2020
In 2020, Peugeot announced 28 recalls for eleven models through the EU Rapex system.
More than 370,000 models of the Peugeot Partner, 208, 2008, 308, 3008 and 5008 are affected by the recall due to possible strong abrasion of the timing belt and the consequent damage to the vacuum pump and brake booster with the 1.2-litre PSA petrol engines.
Peugeot also often solved problems with the front and rear axles, brake hoses, steering and fuel leaks.
Traditionally, the most recalled were the Expert and Traveler vans. In 2020, nine other problems arose. The new Peugeot 208 had only one issue less.
All the recalls sorted by models are listed in the tables below.
We’ve written about some problems in more detail in a separate article.
