What is this? Peugeot cars have a fuel line that may rub against a screw on the ignition coil. Over time, this can wear a hole in the line and let fuel leak out.
What's happening? A small number of these cars in France and Germany could leak fuel near hot parts. This raises the chance of a fire starting.
Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Peugeot 308 III, 408, 3008 III, or 5008 III bought new in France or Germany, your car may be involved.
What should I do? Take the car to a Peugeot dealer right away for a free check and repair. Do not drive it until it has been fixed.
