Peugeot recalled 4007 vehicles built between 20 November 2007 and 25 January 2008. Connectors intended to supply the electric front seats fitted to some versions are not used and are located under the rear footwell carpets. The recall notice describes the fix as: the operation involves repositioning these electrical supply wires for the two front seats to move them higher up on the seat frame. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
Connectors intended to supply the electric front seats fitted to some versions are not used and are located under the rear footwell carpets. If these connectors come into contact with water of melted snow mixed with snow removal products they may corrode over a period of time and cause localised electrical overheating.
