Australian Peugeot importer Inchcape European Automotive is recalling close to 200 examples of the Peugeot 2008 small SUV over a risk of under-bonnet short-circuit that may result in a fire.

Because of a production flaw, some vehicles could have been built with too little space between the gasoline particulate filter pipe and the pole protection cup on the 48V belt starter generator, the recall notice states.

In damp weather this situation might create an electrical fault leading to overheating and a possible engine-compartment fire.

A vehicle fire raises the chance of serious injury or death for occupants, other road users and bystanders, as well as property damage.

A total of 197 vehicles are affected, built between 2024 and 2026
The Vehicle Identification Number list is available from the distributor
The original recall notice is available from the distributor

Peugeot Australia will contact owners of affected vehicles and arrange a free inspection and repair at an authorised workshop.

Owners with questions can reach Peugeot Australia by calling 1800 307 607.
