Peugeot is recalling 18,479 vehicles of the 3008 and 508 model series manufactured between 2. 7. 2019 and 12. 10. 2022. The recall is due to a possible overheating of the battery which can cause a fire, even during charging.

The same problem may occur with 13,273 Citroen C5 Aircross and DS7 models manufactured between 7. 3. 2019 and 27. 9. 2021 and 7,960 Opel Grandland X vehicles with the production period between 2. 7. 2019 and 19. 8. 2021.

At an authorised workshop, depending on the findings, either the battery management system (BMS) software will be updated or the battery will be replaced.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15575R, 15574R, 15577R“. The internal manufacturer codes are “GK8, MYF, KT8“.

What the owner should do?

If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.

If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
