"The upper anchorage points for the seatbelts in the second-row left and right-hand seating positions may not meet load specifications. As a result, the seatbelt may not operate as intended," says Peugeot's Australian distributor Inchcape European Automotive in its recall notice.
"If the seatbelt does not operate as intended, the occupant may not receive the full protection of the seatbelt system. This could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants."

Volkswagen ID. Buzz to drive logistics giant Down Under
Volkswagen Group Australia has announced a partnership with fellow German giant Jungheinrich, as part of the intralogistics giant's network expansion into Melbourne's south-east. Jungheinrich Australia managing director Axel Knigge was handed the keys to a pair of custom liveried Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo electric vans by VW Group Australia's managing director Karsten Seifert. Both are already in service in Melbourne and Sydney. The partnership forms part of Jungheinrich Australia's strategy to shift its service fleet to low-emission vehicles, and achieve net zero emissions across its global chain by 2050 – including full electrification of its owned vehicle fleet. Volkswagen is already a long-standing partner for Jungheinrich globally, with one-third of the German intralogistics giant's 5000-strong service fleet supplied by the German brand including the Caddy and Transporter vans as well as the Amarok dual-cab ute. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Jungheinrich ID. Buzz Cargo vans feature a special livery design to commemorate the company's over 70-year history: the left side shows a historic Volkswagen T2 service van with a 1953 Jungheinrich forklift, with the right side donning a modern Jungheinrich lithium-ion electric forklift. Atop the roof is a 'sustainably crafted wooden surfboard', which Volkswagen says 'adds a playful nod to the VW van's coastal legacy, perfectly fitting to Australia'. Fun fact: The T2-generation VW service van was the base of the German auto giant's first foray into electric transport some 50 years ago. The VW T2 Elektro Transporter of the 1970s was powered by a 21.6kWh lead-acid battery offering 'about 85km' of range and even featured an 'engine recovery system' which captured 'some of' the kinetic energy generated under braking to charge the battery – the early days of regen braking. Jungheinrich says the ID. Buzz Cargo fits its needs as its Australian service technicians may travel 'up to 350km per day', and may need to respond to 'urgent, unplanned service calls'. The VW's claimed 431km of driving range on the WLTP cycle should be more than up to task, then. The cargo van can also carry two Euro pallets, while its 84kWh lithium-ion battery (four times the density of the T2 Elektro) can be charged from 5 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes using a fast charger thanks to its 185kW DC charging capacity. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: Karsten Seifert and Axel Knigge 'In 2008, Jungheinrich was the first manufacturer to bring lithium-ion technology into series production. That innovation helped reduce emissions and increase productivity,' said Axel Knigge, Jungheinrich Australia's managing director. 'We're now taking another major step forward electrifying our service fleet and delivering sustainable service to our customers – and the ID. Buzz Cargo is a major asset: low maintenance costs, zero emissions, and impressive real-world range. 'Jungheinrich stands for premium German-engineered products, expert advice, and the best solution in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and high operational readiness. We are always looking for partners who share our values and continuously improve ourselves.' Karsten Seifert, managing director for Volkswagen Group Australia, added: 'By combining Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' reliability and innovation with Jungheinrich's expertise in material handling, we're driving efficiency, sustainability and progress across the supply chain together'. Jungheinrich is one of the first companies in Australia to integrate the ID. Buzz Cargo into its operations. Supplied Credit: CarExpert MORE: Explore the Volkswagen ID. Buzz showroom

Porsche Macan: Petrol successor to launch by 2028, possibly with a new name
With production of the first-generation Porsche Macan set to finish up in 2026, the luxury sports car brand will be without a petrol engine offering in its best-selling model globally. Porsche has already stopped making petrol-powered Macans for Europe and Australia, but they remain on sale, for now, in North America and elsewhere. The second-generation Macan (below), launched in 2024, is designed as an electric-only model. Unfortunately for Porsche and many other car makers, EV demand hasn't matched their expectations, especially in the US, which has necessitated a re-think about their EV plans. Supplied Credit: CarExpert In a call with investors, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume confirmed the automaker will 'hedge' its EV strategy by 'developing a compact SUV with both ICE and hybrid versions' to complement the Macan EV. He said the company is 'speeding up the process there with very short development times', and expected the new SUV to be launched into major markets 'no later than 2028'. The tight development timeline suggests the petrol Macan replacement will be based on the Volkswagen Group's Platform Premium Combustion (PPC), an evolution and replacement for the MLB architecture used in the original Macan. Earlier rumours indicated Porsche might re-engineer the second-generation Macan's EV platform to accept a petrol engine. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Like the first Macan, the new SUV will likely share a lot in common with the third-generation Audi Q5, production of which began late last year. Naturally with the petrol Macan replacement just receiving the green light, Mr Blume didn't give too much away about the vehicle, but said it would be 'very, very typical Porsche for this segment and also differentiated from the BEV Macan', leading some to speculate the new SUV will have a different name. We can glean some clues about the new SUV's powertrains from the latest Q5, which is available with a choice of 48V mild-hybrid petrol and diesel drivetrains, as well as a selection of plug-in hybrid drivetrains. Porsche has foresworn diesel engines, so that leaves behind the base Q5 TFSI with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, and the SQ5 with a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The Q5 2.0 TFSI makes 150kW and 340Nm, has a seven-speed automatic transmission, and is available in both front- and all-wheel drive. The former requires 8.6s to complete the 0-100km/h dash, while the latter needs just 7.4s. As for the SQ5, it has 270kW and 550Nm at its disposal, a standard seven-speed auto paired with all-wheel drive, and a 0-100km/h time reduced to 4.5s. The Q5 e-hybrid is available in both 220kW/450Nm and 270kW/500Nm specs. For the more powerful variant, the official 0-100km/h time is 5.1 seconds. Both have an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid system that pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with a 105kW electric motor built into the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The electric motor is fed by a 25.9kWh battery with up to 100km of EV range under WLTP testing, and which supports AC charging up to 11kW, but not DC fast charging. Supplied Credit: CarExpert With the fast-approaching launch date, Porsche's new SUV may well use the Q5 drivetrains as is, or spruce them up a bit with pinch of horsepower here and a dash of torque there.
