Recall: Peugeot 208 V2 over incompatible coolant and fire risk

The EU Safety Gate rapid alert system published a recall on 20 October 2026 (reference SR/03006/26) for the passenger car Peugeot 208 V2 - ICE, MHEV, models e2*2007/46*0639*39, e2*2007/46*0639*40 and g11*2018/858*00660*03, VINs VR3UPHPY5S5133316 to VR3UPHPX6T5049191.

The coolant used may not be compatible with the vehicle's cooling system. Over time this could cause corrosion, blockages, damage to hoses and joints, and coolant leaks, reducing cooling performance and potentially causing the engine or hybrid components to overheat, leading to reduced vehicle performance or loss of propulsion assistance. A coolant leak could also cause an electrical short circuit in the system, increasing the risk of fire.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers. The manufacturer launched a voluntary recall from consumers on 5 October 2026. The product was found on the market in Croatia by its authorities and was also found by the authorities of Ireland. Country of origin: France.
