Peugeot Ion: Engine May Not Start
Peugeot iON Recall Summary Peugeot is recalling 35 iON vehicles due to a manufacturing defect in the Engine Control Unit that controls the electric motor. The faulty unit may cause unstable voltage, warning lights, reduced motor power, and in some cases prevent the vehicle from restarting or the battery from charging. Affected vehicles will have the Engine Control Unit replaced.

- Product
- Vehicles: PEUGEOT iON. Units affected: 35
- Reason
- Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine ECU.
