DVLA recall archive
The archive holds 15,570 DVLA vehicle safety recalls dating back to 1992. Filter by manufacturer, year, or keyword. To check whether a specific vehicle is affected by an outstanding recall, run a live VRM recall check for £1.99.
Showing 1–25 of 47 recalls.
MCU inverter
On affected vehicles the Motor Control Unit (MCU) Inverter may have a manufacturing deviation which could lead to gearbox malfunctions and the risk of an internal electrical short circuit leading to overheating or a fire.
Replace the MCU Inverter.
VSM software missing AEB telltale in case of blind camera.
On certain Peugeot vehicles the Automatic Emergency Braking Assist telltale fails to illuminate if the front camera is blocked. No AEB warning telltale meaning no warning light appears in the instrument cluster. An additional pop-up appears for around 10 seconds at each key on/key off (Driving Assistance Sensor Blind: clean sensor see User Manual). The Automatic Emergency Braking system is operating in a degraded mode but remains functional due to radar support.
To rectify this issue we will update the Vehicle System Management software
Cooling spray nozzle potentially missing
Affected vehicles may have a cylinder block with a missing cooling nozzle. A missing nozzle means the piston may not be adequately cooled causing it to weaken deform or break and leading to sudden engine failure resulting in a loss of power and in the worst‑case scenario a thermal incident.
Check the presence of all cooling nozzles and replace if missing.
Ball Joint Bracket fixation.
On affected vehicles the front left and right control arm ball-joint bracket screws are at risk of fracture which could affect the vehicle's controllability.
Inspect the marking on the left and right front ball-joint bracket and change if necessary.
Emission recall – On Board Diagnostics
Vehicles may be affected by incorrect performance of the On-Board-Diagnostics related to Selective Catalytic Reduction system and/or Diesel Particle Filter. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may not illuminate in the event of a malfunction and therefore does not comply with emission regulations.
Update the Engine Control Unit software to ensure compliance to regulations.
Peugeot Fuel Pipe
On affected vehicles there there may be loose connections between a high-pressure fuel pipe and the engine fuel rail which potentially could lead to a leak and risk of fire.
Retighten the affected connections.
Peugeot DV5R Engines Camshaft Chain.
Vehicles may be affected by premature wearing of the camshaft drive chain leading to abnormal noise or to a breakage of the chain in the worst case.
Update the software to improve oil pressure and reduce wear. Check the engine noise and replace the chain if required. If no problem found change the oil to one with higher viscosity and special anti-wear additives.
Low Pressure Fuel Pipe
On affected vehicles the low-pressure fuel pipe could come in to contact with one of the ignition coil screws. This could lead to fuel pipe damage over time resulting in a fuel leak.
Fix the low-pressure fuel pipe to the crankcase breather hose with a cable tie to ensure there is no contact between the ignition coil screw and the fuel pipe.
Peugeot Automomous Telematics Box.
Affected vehicles may experience an autonomous telematic box that cannot connect to the remote server making it not possible to make calls or use other connected services.
Disconnect the 12V battery and reconnect it after 15 seconds then check for a trouble code.
Peugeot 308 408 3008 5008 Fuel Pipe Leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Peugeot 308 408 3008 5008 Fuel Pipe Leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Peugeot 308 408 3008 5008 Fuel Pipe Leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Peugeot 308 408 3008 5008 Fuel Pipe Leakage
Affected vehicles may face potential leakage of the under-bonnet fuel pipe due to a weakness of its crimping.
Change the fuel pipe.
Peugeot 3008 5008 Headrest
On affected vehicles front seat headrests are not to specification.
Check the fixing notches of the front seat headrests and exchange them if necessary.

On affected vehicles front seat headrests are not to specification.
Check the fixing notches of the front seat headrests and exchange them if necessary.
Peugeot 30085008 Risk of broken bolt front control arm ball joint.
On affected vehicles the fixing bolts on the front left or right bracket on the lower control arm may break. In the worst-case scenario 2 broken bolts could affect the controllability of the vehicle.
Change the front left and right ball joint brackets.
Peugeot 30085008 Risk of broken bolt front control arm ball joint.
On affected vehicles the fixing bolts on the front left or right bracket on the lower control arm may break. In the worst-case scenario 2 broken bolts could affect the controllability of the vehicle.
Change the front left and right ball joint brackets.
Cross carline Engine software
On affected vehicles below 12500 miles under certain conditions engine emissions may lead to a non-compliance to regulatory requirements.
Check the mileage of the vehicle and update the ECU (Engine Control Unit) calibration on vehicles below 12500 miles.
On the affected vehicles the operation of the brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt caused by the ageing of the engine oil.
On the affected vehicles the operation of the brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt caused by the ageing of the engine oil.
To rectify this issue a software update will be downloaded which will improve the vacuum diagnosis (in order to warn earlier about the risk of loss or reduction of braking assistance).

To rectify this issue a software update will be downloaded which will improve the vacuum diagnosis (in order to warn earlier about the risk of loss or reduction of braking assistance). The timing belt will be checked and if needed replaced with other components of the braking assistance system and the vacuum pump.
THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATERIAL DETACHING FROM THE TIMING BELT
The brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt.
Update detection software inspect and if necessary replace vacuum pump and timing belt.

The brake vacuum pump may be affected by material detaching from the timing belt.
Update detection software inspect and if necessary replace vacuum pump and timing belt.
THE FILTERING PERFORMANCE OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
The filtering performance of the Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) may not meet the required specification.
Replace the DPF on affected vehicles.
THE UREA INJECTOR MAY BLOCK AND LEAD TO NOx EMISSIONS GOING OUT OF REGULATORY LIMITS
The vehicles may be affected by a defect in the urea injector which might block and lead to NOx emissions going out of the regulatory limits.
Updating the ECU software to avoid the gradual blocking of the urea injector
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE INTERNAL CORROSION PROTECTION OF THE SUBFRAME IS NOT DURABLE ENOUGH.
There is a possibility that the internal corrosion protection of the front subframe is not durable enough.
Replacing the front subframe assembly.
