DS automobiles DS8 passenger cars with VINs VR1KDZKT5SP002577 to VR1KDZKV8VP002692 (type/model e2*2018/858*00064*10/11/12, g11*2018/858*00524*07; barcode G3W; batch 06.03.2026) are affected. They were recalled because the front main wiring harness may contact a metal earthing stud — a missing protective cap can let vibrations damage the harness insulation, causing a short circuit, loss of electrical functions, overheating and an increased risk of a thermal incident or fire. The manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall from consumers.

The hazard
The front main wiring harness may come into contact with a metal earthing stud because, following a design harmonisation change, PHEV/BEV vehicles were not fitted with the protective cap used on the MHEV version. Over time, vehicle vibrations could damage the harness insulation, allowing the wires to touch the earthing stud and cause a short circuit. This may lead to a loss of electrical functions and overheating of the wires, increasing the risk of a thermal incident or fire.
The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
