    Peugeot is recalling mild-hybrid versions of its 308, 408, 2008, 3008 and 5008 due to a fuel leak that could pose a fire risk.

    “A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property.”

    • The recall affects ‘HEV’ versions of the 308, 408, 2008, 3008and5008produced between 2024 and 2025
