Peugeot Traveller: Unexpected Airbag Deployment
Peugeot is recalling 200 Traveller and Expert vehicles because water can enter the cabin through body seals, potentially causing wet carpets or damp smells. Water entering the cabin could interfere with the airbag system's electrical components and cause the airbag to deploy unexpectedly. Dealers will add extra sealant to the body and replace any interior components damaged by water.
