Every Peugeot Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Peugeot has 421 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 138 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve software, brakes and high-voltage battery. Enter your registration to check your Peugeot; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Peugeot dealer.¹

Peugeot owners face several recalls that run across the whole Stellantis group. The largest recent one, R/2025/246, replaces the camshaft chain on DV5R diesel engines in the 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 5008, 508, Partner and Rifter, covering 83,064 vehicle-records. Petrol Peugeots with the 1.2 PureTech engine have their own set: the 2025 high-pressure fuel pipe recall (R/2025/277), the 2026 mild hybrid starter-generator recall for the 208 and 2008 (R/2026/071), and earlier recalls for timing belt debris reaching the brake vacuum pump. Our PureTech recalls page explains each one and the separate compensation scheme for oil consumption and belt wear. In 2026 Peugeot also recalled 41,085 208s because the horn could be too quiet (R/2026/231). Peugeot's rate per car on the road is among the higher ones for major brands, partly because of vans such as the Partner and Expert. Any Peugeot dealer can check your VIN.
