Peugeot 4007: Short Circuit May Occur
Peugeot is recalling 14 units of the 4007 model vehicle because unused electrical connectors located under the rear footwell carpets can corrode when exposed to water or melted snow mixed with road salt, potentially causing electrical overheating. The manufacturer will reposition these electrical wires to a higher location on the seat frame to prevent contact with moisture. This recall affects vehicles distributed in the United Kingdom.
