According to the country's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), the Sino-French joint venture is recalling a total of nearly 38,000 Dongfeng Peugeot cars on the basis of safety defects.

The recall is targeted towards 11,116 Dongfeng Peugeot branded 307s manufactured between October 11 and December 2 of last year, as well as 26,583 Dongfeng Peugeot 408s (2.0L version) made from November 14, 2009 to November 16 last year. The 307s are being recalled because of problems with the driver's side airbag which may prevent it from being normally deployed, while the 408 reportedly has a problem with the position of cables in the battery mounting. The cars are being recalled in accordance to the AQSIQ's Provisions on the Administration of Recall of Defective Auto Products legislation.
