What is this? This is about a problem with some Peugeot 308 cars. The towing eye (the metal hook used to pull the car) may not be made correctly.
What's happening? The threads on the towing eye housing are the wrong size. This means the eye may not screw in enough. If the car is being towed, it could come loose and cause an accident.
Does this affect me? This affects Peugeot 308 cars in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. If you own one of these cars, you may be at risk.
What should I do? Stop using the towing eye right away. Ask your Peugeot dealer to check and fix it. Do not try to fix it yourself.
