An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Peugeot 308 and others) - Repair. Due to defects in the door openings (door locking devices), running gear (tire air valves), and seat belts (seat belt buckles). ■Defective parts (component names) ① Door openings (door locking devices), ② Running gear (tire air valves), ③ Seat belts (seat belt buckles) ■Condition and cause of the structure, equipment, or performance deemed noncompliant with standards ① In the front and rear doors, improper assembly of the door locking devices may cause the locking mechanisms to stick. As a result, the doors may become impossible to open or close, or vibration during driving may release the door locks. In the worst case, a door may open while driving. ② In the running gear (wheels), improper work instructions for fitting the tire air valves resulted in some valves being incorrectly fitted to the wheels. As a result, air may leak from the tires. If use continues in this condition, tire pressure may drop and the warning light may illuminate, or vibration during driving and other factors may damage the valve locking bolt, causing rapid tire deflation. In the worst case, the vehicle may become unable to be driven. ③ In the rear seat belts, improper manufacture of the mounting brackets that secure the seat belt buckles to the seats resulted in some brackets having insufficient strength. As a result, the brackets may break under the force of sudden braking or a collision, preventing proper restraint of occupants. In the worst case, occupants may suffer excessive injuries. Published 2017-05-31.
