The software supposed to prevent the engine from stopping suddenly and to transmit data to customer service is not working properly. This can lead the ‘Ready’ mode to be unavailable after the vehicle has been started, to an acceleration power’s loss and to the engine suddenly cutting out while driving. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
The Peugeot 208 vehicles affected by this recall were equipped with high-voltage batteries and manufactured between 17 May 2022 and 13 March 2023.
