ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Peugeot recall affects models produced between 2024 and 2025, which means that Australian dealerships will need to inspect and update the software of these vehicles before they can be sold or delivered to customers.

This recall will likely impact the availability of the Peugeot 308, 3008, 408, and 5008 models in the short term, potentially affecting sales and revenue for dealerships that have these models in stock.

What it means for the order bank

Dealerships with existing orders for these models will need to communicate with customers about the potential delay in delivery, which could lead to a loss of customer trust and loyalty if not handled properly.

The software update required to fix the issue is a relatively simple solution, but it will still require dealerships to allocate time and resources to complete the update for each affected vehicle.

Competitor response

Other manufacturers in the same segment as Peugeot, such as Renault and Citroen, may try to capitalize on the recall by offering incentives or promotions to attract customers away from Peugeot.

Dealerships can take this opportunity to review their inventory and pricing strategies to remain competitive in the market.

Taking action

This week, dealers can start by identifying all affected Peugeot models in their inventory and developing a plan to inspect and update the software as quickly as possible to minimize the impact on sales and customer satisfaction.
