Does a recall affect your Peugeot 407?

Not every Peugeot 407 is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Peugeot 407 recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2005 to 2026

2008 had the most, with 4. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Derived statistics UK Motoring 		January 1992 to September 2026 15 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Peugeot 407. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
