Peugeot 308, E-308 and 408 recalled

Peugeot Australia has recalled 130 vehicles across its 308, E-308 and 408 model lines, due to a shared fault which could cause the cars to be stuck in Park.

“Due to a software issue, the Door Control Unit (DCU) for the drivers and front passenger doors may not operate as intended,” the carmaker said in its recall notice. 

“As a result, it could prevent the doors from locking or unlocking, exterior mirrors from folding or adjusting and the windows from auto reversing.

“In addition, when the vehicle has been parked for an extended period, the vehicle transmission may lock in Park position and [be] unable to move the vehicle forward.

“In the event of an emergency, or the vehicle getting locked in Park position, the driver and/or passenger can exit the vehicle using the internal and external door handles. 

“A malfunction of the windows auto reversing function is a potential non-compliance with Australian Design Rule (ADR) 42/05 – General Safety Requirements.”
