PEUGEOT iON ( 06/08/2011 – 29/03/2012) DEFECT: Due to none conformity during manufacture the resistance of the insulated base inside the motor control unit (MCU) which controls the electric motor may decrease. As a result the voltage in the circuit may become unstable causing the warning light to illuminate and the driving motor power to be restricted to the fail safe control. In the worst case scenario the vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the battery may not be able to be charged.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the engine MCU.
