On e-2008 II battery-electric cars built between 28 May 2022 and 7 February 2023, a faulty configuration of the high-voltage battery control unit can prevent the car from entering READY mode after start-up and, in service, can cut drive suddenly while the vehicle is moving. Stellantis recalled the affected e-CMP cars under manufacturer code MV4 (EU Safety Gate SR/01450/25, ~23,704 vehicles worldwide, also covering e-208 II, e-Rifter, e-Partner, e-Traveller and e-Expert). A closely related German KBA action (reference 012475, manufacturer code MDY) covered a further 21,349 model-year 2022 e-208/e-2008/e-Partner/e-Rifter cars for loss of drive from the same battery control unit configuration. Combustion-engine 2008 models are not affected — this is specific to the battery-electric e-2008.

Common Symptoms

  • Car will not enter READY mode after pressing start
  • Sudden loss of drive while moving
  • Warning lamps for the electric traction system
  • Vehicle immobilised without warning

How to Fix

Have the VIN checked by a Peugeot dealer against campaigns MV4 and MDY. The remedy is a free software reflash of the high-voltage battery control unit at an authorised workshop; no hardware replacement is required in the standard campaign. If the car has already suffered a loss-of-drive event, have the BMS fault memory read before the update so any stored battery module fault is not masked by the reflash.

The electric e-2008 consistently delivers real-world range well below the WLTP figure, with owners reporting 30-40% reduction in cold weather. Battery management system calibration and heating energy draw are contributing factors.

Common Symptoms

  • Range below WLTP estimate
  • Rapid range drop in cold weather
  • Inconsistent range estimates
  • Battery percentage jumps

How to Fix

Perform a battery recalibration by fully charging then fully depleting the battery twice. Use eco mode and pre-condition while plugged in. A software update may improve BMS estimation accuracy.

Peugeot confirms that previous-generation 1.0 and 1.2 PureTech engines can experience an oil-pressure issue resulting from premature timing-belt degradation. Official terms cover affected non-turbo engines produced June 2012-June 2022 and 1.2 turbo engines produced April 2014-June 2022. The 2008 uses a belt, not the timing chain incorrectly prescribed by the frozen solution; the shortened interval, revised-belt history and 130-owner count are not established by the cited manufacturer evidence.

This issue also affects: Citroen C3, Peugeot 207, Peugeot 208

Common Symptoms

  • engine and production date verified
  • belt condition assessed under current procedure
  • oil pickup and lubrication consequences checked

How to Fix

If an oil-pressure warning appears, stop the engine as soon as it is safe and do not continue driving until the lubrication system is checked. Identify engine and production date by VIN, inspect belt condition using the current Peugeot procedure, and when degradation is confirmed follow engine-specific instructions for the timing-belt system, oil pickup/lubrication circuit, oil and filter. Check Peugeot support eligibility and the service schedule. Do not buy a timing-belt kit from this page; production date, engine, diagnosis and VIN fitment must be established first.

Owners of the second-generation 2008 (including the e-2008) report the central NAC touchscreen going completely dark and unresponsive, in the worst cases roughly every third journey. Because the 2008 II routes climate control through the touchscreen, a blackout takes the heating/air-conditioning controls, the radio and the reversing camera with it, leaving the driver with no way to adjust cabin temperature or use the parking camera until the unit recovers — which can take 30 minutes or more, and does not always happen on its own. German owner reports on the Mittns Peugeot forum tie the fault to specific NAC firmware builds (system version 0422D, HMI rcc2023.95.22.48.00); firmware 0431D reduced but did not fully eliminate recurrences.

Common Symptoms

  • Central touchscreen goes black and unresponsive
  • No radio or media audio
  • Climate control cannot be adjusted
  • Reversing camera image does not appear
  • System sometimes recovers after 30+ minutes

How to Fix

As an immediate workaround, press and hold the telephone button on the screen bezel for about 10 seconds to force the NAC unit to reboot. For a lasting fix, have the dealer read the installed NAC system version and apply the latest firmware (owners on 0422D reported improvement after moving to 0431D; updates can also be pulled through the MyPeugeot app). If blackouts continue after the newest firmware, insist the NAC head unit itself be tested for a hardware fault rather than accepting repeated software reflashes.
