Peugeot 406

The Peugeot 406 is one the UK’s biggest selling cars. However, it seems you don’t even have to drive the car to be at risk.

Alf and Beryl White were just two of a number of people who contacted Watchdog. They were at home watching TV when they heard an explosion outside. Alf had parked his Peugeot 406 on his drive under their car port. When he investigated the explosion he saw his car engulfed in flames. The car was a write off, the fence, car port and driveway were all badly damaged. Peugeot told the Whites that they thought the problem was "of an electrical nature in or around the cooling fan area."

Alf and Beryl weren’t the only ones to fall victim to this seemingly spontaneous combustion. Alistair and Lynda Grote were asleep when their 406 caught fire. Another owner Mrs Eustice also suffered a fire. This time she and her children were in the car. She reversed up her drive and noticed smoke. Peugeot have offered her a replacement 406.

Independent fire expert Steve Hannaford says the problem affects 2002 model Peugeot 406’s with diesel engine and air conditioning. Peugeot knew about the problem in Feb 2003 but didn’t decide to recall until May 2003.

Rod Phillpot, Director of Parts and Services Peugeot UK says: "They have had a difficult time with those cars but they are on track to sort out the problem." With regard to the recall he said they had followed the terms and conditions of the vehicle inspectorate and 80% of cars effected by this problem had been recalled and fixed. He also said that Peugeot want to apologise to customers and if any compensation is necessary to customers they will fix it."

Sytuacja powtórzyła się potem kilka razy, ale najwięcej paliło się 307.

Szacuje się że 8 na 10 wyprodukowanych ma wadę grożącą pożarem.
