Peugeot 308 V3, 408 and other models recalled over a brake defect

Brakes

On certain Peugeot vehicles the Automatic Emergency Braking Assist telltale fails to illuminate if the front camera is blocked. No AEB warning telltale meaning no warning light appears in the instrument cluster. An additional pop-up appears for around 10 seconds at each key on/key off (Driving Assistance Sensor Blind: clean sensor see User Manual). The Automatic Emergency Braking system is operating in a degraded mode but remains functional due to radar support.

Why it matters. Brake defects are among the most serious vehicle faults because they affect the ability to stop.
