RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Peugeot 2008 and 3 other models) - Repair. Defects in the engine (belt-driven starter-generator) and the device preventing emissions of smoke, malodorous gases, harmful gases, etc. (gasoline particulate filter pipe). Defective parts: Engine (belt-driven starter-generator) and device preventing emissions of smoke, malodorous gases, harmful gases, etc. (gasoline particulate filter pipe). Conditions and causes of noncompliance in structure, equipment or performance: ① The electrode protective cap on the belt-driven starter-generator (BSG) has insufficient insulation because its material was inadequately evaluated. ② Due to inappropriate routing instructions, some gasoline particulate filter (GPF) pipes have insufficient clearance from the BSG electrode protective cap. Consequently, electrical leakage from the protective cap to the GPF pipe can cause the BSG electrode protective cap and GPF pipe to heat up and become damaged. Continued use may, in the worst case, result in a fire. Published 2026-07-23.

What to do now

Recall notification number: 外-4208. Corrective measures: ① On all vehicles, replace the BSG electrode protective cap with an improved part. ② On all vehicles, inspect the clearance between the BSG electrode protective cap and the GPF pipe. If clearance is insufficient, correct the GPF pipe routing. If the GPF pipe is damaged, replace it with a new one.
