On the 2023-2025 Peugeot 5008, on the third-generation 5008 (STLA Medium platform), the fixing screws securing the front left or right ball joint mount to the lower suspension arm may be defective and can break. If they fail, the ball joint mount is free to pivot, which changes the wheel's direction independently of driver input and can cause loss of steering control. Two linked EU campaigns cover roughly 196,723 vehicles in total — an initial action on 100,956 cars built 5 December 2023 to 29 November 2024, and a follow-up published 28 December 2025 covering 95,767 cars built 24 July 2023 to 28 February 2025. The same defect affects the platform-mate Peugeot 3008, Opel Grandland and Vauxhall Grandland. This is a manufacturing defect in the fasteners, not wear, so it can present at very low mileage.

Common Symptoms

  • Knocking or clunking from the front suspension
  • Steering pulls or wanders
  • Sudden change in steering response
  • Uneven or sudden front tyre wear

How to Fix

This is a stop-driving-if-symptomatic safety recall — check the VIN with a Peugeot dealer against both the 2024 and the December 2025 actions, as many cars fall only into the wider second campaign. The remedy is free inspection and replacement of the ball joint mounting screws (and the arm assembly where damage has already occurred). Any clunk from the front suspension, wandering steering or a sudden change in steering feel on a car in the build window should be treated as urgent rather than booked for a routine appointment.
