Peugeot recalled 207 vehicles built between 19 July 2010 and 16 November 2010. The rear brake hoses may contact the suspension coil springs. The recall notice describes the fix as: that are likely to be affected to check the positioning of the rear brake hoses and where necessary replace the brake hose/s. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
The rear brake hoses may contact the suspension coil springs. Should this contact occur it is possible over time and distance for the spring to abrade a hole in the hose and for the hose to leak fluid which will illuminate the brake warning lamp and could possibly lead to longer than expected stopping distances.
