What is this? Peugeot cars made in 2008 and later may have a broken engine-control part. Tiny metal bits left inside can cause a short circuit.

What's happening? The short circuit can keep power flowing and make the part overheat. This could start a fire.

Does this affect me? If you own one of these Peugeot models in France, your car might be at risk.

What should I do? Take your car to a Peugeot dealer right away. Ask your dealer or mechanic for help.
