About this episode

This episode discusses recent vehicle recalls by Stellantis due to safety risks associated with battery overheating and improperly tightened heating cables.

The provided text outlines two distinct vehicle recalls issued by Peugeot and its affiliated brands under Stellantis, focusing on specific manufacturing defects that pose safety risks. The larger recall involves 18,479 Peugeot 3008 and 508 vehicles, along with thousands of corresponding Citroën, DS7, and Opel models, due to a serious battery overheating issue that presents a fire risk, necessitating either a software update to the battery management system or a full battery replacement. Separately, a smaller recall targets 4,001 Peugeot 3008 and 5008 vehicles manufactured within a specific two-month window in 2025 because the 48V heating cable connection was improperly tightened, potentially leading to heater failure or overheating. Authorized workshops will inspect the loose heating cable connection and adjust the torque, or replace the entire cable harness if signs of damage are detected.
