Dongfeng Peugeot recalls over 37000 vehicles in China

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai May 1) - According to a recent post on the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine's officially website, Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën has officially begun a recall of 37,686 Peugeot and Citroën models in China. The recall, which begun on April 28, will target Peugeot's 307, 308 and 408, as well as the Citroën's C4. The vehicles to be recalled carry production dates ranging from late February 2012 to early April 2012.

The models in question are being recalled due to a problem with the plating of the PCBs in the generator's regulators. Due to the flaw, when the generators reach a certain temperature, they may not function properly. Under extreme conditions, the generator's internal circuitry may be presently damaged, causing a potential safety risk.

The joint venture will contact owners of affected vehicles via its dealership network to schedule appointments for free repair and maintenance.
