Peugeot Australia has recalled 526 examples of its 2018-2022 3008 GT and 5008 GT models over an issue with their diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The company released two separate recall notices which we have linked below.
“The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) may crack due to overheating. If this occurs the DPF may not operate as intended resulting in an increase of tailpipe emissions,” the company says in its recall notice.
“There is no safety hazard and if this occurs, the defect will not affect the performance of the vehicle.
“If the defect occurs the vehicles would not be compliant with the Australian Designer Rule ADR79 – Emission Control for Light Vehicles.”
