Every Peugeot 5008 recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
Wrong Tire Class in CoC
R/2026/256, launched 3 July 2026. Also covers the 3008
Defect: Affected vehicles may have a tyre class mismatch between the technical specification declared in the Certificate of Conformity and the actual vehicle configuration.
Remedy: Check the tyre class of all vehicle tyres and exchange all 4 for Class A+ tyres if necessary
VSM software Interior door handles
R/2026/228, launched 3 June 2026. Also covers the 3008, 308, 408
Defect: Affected vehicles may experience an unexpected deactivation of the interior door handles when the key is in engine-running mode which could result in occupants being unable to exit.
Remedy: Update the Vehicle Supervision Module software.
MCU inverter
R/2026/161, launched 24 April 2026. Also covers the 3008, 408
Defect: On affected vehicles the Motor Control Unit (MCU) Inverter may have a manufacturing deviation which could lead to gearbox malfunctions and the risk of an internal electrical short circuit leading to overheating or a fire.

VSM software missing AEB telltale in case of blind camera.
R/2025/542, launched 21 April 2026. Also covers the 3008, 308, 408
Defect: On certain Peugeot vehicles the Automatic Emergency Braking Assist telltale fails to illuminate if the front camera is blocked. No AEB warning telltale meaning no warning light appears in the instrument cluster. An additional pop-up appears for around 10 seconds at each key on/key off (Driving Assistance Sensor Blind: clean sensor see User Manual). The Automatic Emergency Braking system is operating in a degraded mode but remains functional due to radar support.

What to do next
If you own a Peugeot 5008, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Peugeot dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
