There are recalls for Peugeot vans concerning an emissions software issue that may prevent the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) from illuminating correctly. This recall involves updating the Engine Control Unit (ECU) software to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with emissions standards, and affected models may include models like the Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato. To check if your specific van is affected, you should contact your Peugeot dealership with your VIN number.
What you need to know
The problem: The software fault can prevent the MIL from turning on even if there is a problem with the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) or Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems.
The Consequence: The vehicle may not meet emissions standards because the warning light is not functioning as intended.
The solution: Peugeot will perform a free software update on the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to fix the problem.
How to check: The only way to know for sure if your specific van is part of the recall is to contact your local dealership and provide them with your vehicle identification number (VIN).
What to do: If your van is part of the recall, schedule an appointment with the dealership to have the software updated. You should not have to pay for the service.
