Shanghai, June 2 (Gasgoo.com) Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile Co Ltd (DPCA),  PSA Peugeot Citroen's Chinese joint venture, announced that from May 30, 2008, it would recall 4,940 faulty 1.6L Dongfeng Peugeot 307 hatchbacks produced between December 4, 2007 and April 25, 2008.

DPCA has submitted a report on vehicles recall to China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ).

DPCA will contact consumers who have their vehicles affected through dealerships of Dongfeng Peugeot.
