1. Recall Summary

Peugeot, in cooperation with French authorities, has initiated a recall of certain 3008 V3 and 5008 V3 passenger cars. The recall is due to a manufacturing issue involving the engine cylinder blocks. Specifically, affected vehicles may be missing a cooling nozzle. This condition can lead to insufficient piston cooling, potentially causing the piston to weaken, warp, or break. Such failure may result in sudden engine failure and loss of power transmission. In certain circumstances, this defect can trigger thermal runaway, which may lead to a fire and injuries to vehicle occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
