• 4,000 Peugeot models recalled due to emissions software issue

MINI, Jaguar Land Rover and Peugeot are among the manufacturers who have recalled vehicles in August.

Jaguar Land Rover recalls a range of models over software issue with Electric Power Inverter Converter

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 31,183 Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar models over a potential software issue with the Electric Power Inverter Converter.

Models affected include the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery and Jaguar E-Pace built between October 2021 and July 2025.

In affected models, a software issue means it is possible that as the high voltage battery depletes during driving in EV mode the engine may not restart when the state of charge reduces and the vehicle will therefore lose power. There will not be an associated warning to the driver.

JLR says that the software will be updated in the affected vehicles and other modules as required to ensure complete cross-module integration. In parallel and over-the-air update will be rolled out and customers who successfully complete this update will not need to visit a dealer.

MINI recalls 3- and 5-door Hatch models due to potential wiring issue

MINI is recalling 10,780 Hatch models due to a potential problem with the windscreen wiper wiring harness.

On affected vehicles an incorrectly routed wiring harness can be damaged by contact with the windscreen wiper mechanism.

MINI says that on affected vehicles the windscreen wiper wiring harness will be inspected and re-routed if required. If any damaged wires are discovered these will be repaired and the control unit will be replaced.

Peugeot recalls range of models over potential emissions issue

Peugeot is recalling 4158 models over a potential issue with emissions software.

The vehicles potentially affected include the Peugeot 208, Peugeot 2008, Peugeot 308, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 508 and Peugeot 5008, built between October 2016 and October 2022.

On affected vehicles there is the potential for incorrect performance of the on-board diagnostics related to the Selective Catalytic Reduction System and/or Diesel Particulate Filter. The Malfunction Indicator Light may not illuminate in the event of a malfunction and therefore does not comply with emissions regulations.

Peugeot says that affected vehicles will have the Engine Control Unit software updated to ensure compliance with regulations.

What is a vehicle recall?

DVSA safety recalls happen when a potentially dangerous issue is identified with a vehicle. 

Reasons for safety recalls can vary from small technical issues with windscreen wipers to major safety faults with airbags. In all cases, the vehicle will need to be checked by the manufacturer. This will usually take place at a local dealership.

How do I find out if my car has been recalled?

The manufacturer will get in touch with the owners of any affected vehicles, using details from the DVLA. If your car needs to be recalled you should get a letter, phone call or email. 

The correspondence will explain what the issue is, how the manufacturer plans to fix it and who to contact to arrange for any checks or work to be carried out.

If you have a second hand car the manufacturer might not be able to reach you so contact a dealership to check if there's anything outstanding for your vehicle or check on GOV.UK if you're not sure 

Do I have to pay for recall work?

No you don't have to pay for recall work. Recall fixes and checks are carried out free of charge. Although dealers may try to get you to undertake other work on your car when it's in for recall work. Only agree and pay for work that you're happy to have carried out and that you think your car requires.
