Peugeot Boxer: Improve The Protection Of Front Brake Hoses

Peugeot is recalling 8,781 Boxer vehicles because the front brake hoses may wear through where they rub against the wheel arch, potentially causing brake fluid leaks. If this happens, a red warning light will appear on the dashboard. Dealers will inspect the hoses and either replace them if damaged or add protective covering and reposition them if undamaged.
