Fine of €165,000 imposed on PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES (SIRET number: 875 550 667 00013)
The Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) has imposed a fine of €165,000 on the company PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES for failing to comply with the provisions of the Consumer Code relating to the provision of commercial guarantees.
An investigation carried out by the DGCCRF revealed that PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES did not provide its customers with a commercial guarantee that complied with the provisions of the Consumer Code. In particular, the guarantee did not specify the duration of the guarantee, the extent of the guarantee and the procedures for implementing the guarantee.
This practice is prohibited by Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code, which provides that “any commercial guarantee offered to consumers must be written, clear and precise”. The purpose of this provision is to ensure that consumers are fully informed of the extent of the guarantee they are purchasing.
The DGCCRF has therefore imposed a fine of €165,000 on PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES for failing to comply with the provisions of the Consumer Code. This decision is a reminder to all professionals of the importance of complying with the provisions of the Consumer Code, which are intended to protect consumers.
