Peugeot recalled Partner vehicles. In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. The recall notice describes the fix as: to prevent an occurrence of this type likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time a suspension cup will be fitted on each front side of the vehicle to prevent a failed spring from making contact with the tyre. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
