Looking for some advice here (will be contacting dealership tommorrow)

 

Have came home to a red urgent safety recall for my car effectively leaking fuel between a high pressure line and fuel rails

Now I know the nearest dealerships to me who take on the Peugeot motability repairs and servicing are always run off there feet and im highly unlikely to get a quick appointment  however the letter states that this issue could lead to a full on vehicle fire

 

If I am to fone and the next appointment is weeks away is it best to get a hire car organised through motability in the interim as to not risk the likelihood of the vehicle fire( I have bad luck consistently so knowing me I’d be the one who gets a fire haha) and to further avoid the risk of a claim on my policy for something thats outwith my control

Anyone have any advise motability weren’t that great and advised to contact RAC but each time I call it gets to the point of we wont tolerate abuse to staff etc then auto disconnects

If it were me, first I’d book it in at your nearest Peugeot dealer to get a date. Then email Motability CEO Andrew Miller, to explain the situation, pointing out the car isn’t safe to drive between now and your appointment date and if possible copy the letter from Peugeot and add it as an attachment. Hopefully you will hear back within a few hours with a solution, without all the faf of going round in circles!

1.2 MHEV 2023-2025 Recall
Hi All – just a heads up to anyone with this model that Stellantis have issued a recall but nothing too concerning. I arrived home to a letter on it tonight. I made it just six weeks with this car and no issues….!

Car fire safety recall hits 28 different models including Fiat …Stellantis, the parent company of Peugeot, is recalling 72,000 vehicles due to a potential fire risk caused by a faulty fuel pipe. The issue involves a high-pressure fuel pipe, specifically in vehicles with the 1.2-liter petrol engine, mostly in mild-hybrid variants, produced between 2023 and 2025. Loose nuts on the pipe can cause leaks and potentially lead to fires. Stellantis has initiated the recall process and will contact affected owners. The repair involves retightening the connections, a process that should take less than 30 minutes and will be free of charge

Booked my Peugeot 208 for the recall on the 27th August. I was surprised that they would not pick the car up from my home to undertake the work or even offer a courtesy car because the work takes around 4 hours. Not a very good service from Peugeot or is this to be expected?
