PEUGEOT announced a problem with the PARTNER (14" AND 15" WHEEL) affecting a total of 32,396 vehicles.
In countries where salt is used extensively on the roads, the paint sub layer on certain springs produced over a specific manufacturing period shows very little resistance to corrosion. This can in exceptional circumstances cause a front suspension spring to break, with the attendant risk that, the spring could contact the tyre.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. To prevent an occurrence of this type, likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time a suspension cup will be fitted on each front side of the vehicle, to prevent a failed spring from making contact with the tyre.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest PEUGEOT dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
