Car recall campaigns are commonplace for automakers. But what is it? Sometimes it happens that a car has a large-scale problem that affects many examples and is noticed only after marketing begins. In this case, and if the concern is significant enough, the manufacturer organizes a campaign to warn customers and ask them to return the car to the dealership or workshop for repairs. No brand spares, although in recent months such manufacturers as Tesla, Ferrari or even Kia and Ford were concerned. At the start of the year, it was Peugeot’s turn to be in the spotlight with a problem with its 208.

Steering wheel problem

A few months ago, the city car faced the risk of fire. Today, it is the subject of a recall campaign for another, equally important issue. Indeed, it is now about management. The manufacturer would have noticed that the tightening torque of the rods would have been incorrect. As a result, they can weaken and cause loss of control over the car. Which obviously can be dramatic if you’re driving at high speeds. Noise is usually an indication of a problem, and it’s important to stop if you hear it.

In general, it would be no less than 20,000 copies affected city car manufactured between March 19, 2020 and October 24, 2022. To find out if this concerns you, you can go to the brand’s website and enter your serial number. Repairs are 100% covered by Peugeot and generally should not take more than two hours.
