"Due to a manufacturing defect, the threaded connection between the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel rail may become loose," the company says in its recall notice.

"A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property."
If you own an affected vehicle, you'll need to schedule an appointment at an authorised Peugeot dealership to have the fix carried out, free of charge.

BYD Shark 6 ute finally gets some more colours
The BYD Shark 6 had a fairly limited colour palette, even by 2025 standards. That's now changed. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) ute recently gained the option of an Outback Orange paint finish, its boldest one yet and one that neatly matches some of the orange trim elements inside. Now, BYD has added another exterior colour to the palette: Grey Mist. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. BYD describes it as "a sophisticated matte finish with unmistakable street presence", and it's now available to order. Like the existing Deep Sea Blue, Tidal Black and Outback Orange finishes, Grey Mist costs an extra $700. The BYD Shark 6 continues to be offered in a single Premium trim, priced at $57,900 before on-road costs. The electrified dual-cab 4×4 ute has helped fuel BYD's surge up the sales charts. It was the fifth best-selling brand in June – a feat never managed before by a Chinese brand in Australia – and the Shark 6 was the fifth best-selling model overall. It was just 126 deliveries behind the Isuzu D-Max, Australia's third best-selling ute, despite that model being available in a range of body styles and trim levels, and with a choice of two engines and rear- or four-wheel drive. The Shark 6 is currently Australia's best-selling PHEV and the 12th best-selling model overall with 10,424 deliveries to the end of June.
