Peugeot is recalling 2212 examples of its 2017-2020 Peugeot 308, 208 and 2008 due to an issue with the timing belt degrading.

    “The timing belt may degrade due to aged engine oil. If left unrepaired it may result in a reduction or a loss of braking performance,” says the brand in its recall notice.

    “A reduction or loss in braking performance could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”

    If you own an affected vehicle, contact an authorised Peugeot dealer to have the work carried out as soon as possible, free of charge.

    If you have any further questions please contact the Peugeot Australia Customer Relations Team on 1800 307 607.
