Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Peugeot dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
