Peugeot 5008: Fuel May Leak
Recall Summary Peugeot is recalling approximately 89,831 vehicles (5008, Expert III, 3008, RCZ, 508, 308, and 807 models) because a defective fuel heating device in the diesel fuel filter cover may overheat and cause the cover to warp, allowing air into the fuel system.

Dealers will replace the fuel heater cover and inspect or replace the electrical connector if needed.
