Chery Vehicle Recall Information: Recall of Selected Models in the Tiggo 5x and Omoda Series

In accordance with the requirements of the "Regulations on the Administration of Recall for Defective Automotive Products" and the "Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Administration of Recall for Defective Automotive Products", Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation.

The specifics are as follows.

Recall Number S2026M0146V:

Starting from November 27, 2026, selected Chery Tiggo 5x and Omoda series vehicles produced between June 6, 2022, and December 31, 2023 will be recalled, totaling 53,882 vehicles.

Some vehicles within the scope of this recall have manufacturing issues with the rear axle, specifically potential poor welding in the rear longitudinal arm and sleeve; in extreme cases, the weld at this location may fail and separate, causing loss of wheel control, increasing the risk of vehicle malfunction, and posing a safety hazard. Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. will free of charge check the production date code of the rear axle for vehicles within the recall scope. If it belongs to a defective batch rear axle, the solution is to replace the rear axle to eliminate safety hazards.

Prior to this recall, the Omoda overseas version OMODA 5 experienced an axle breakage accident in Malaysia, with the rear wheel detaching while driving; Chery Automobile responded quickly and apologized, recalling 8,878 vehicles, followed by initiating overseas recalls and investigating domestic vehicle risks, and shortly thereafter, the aforementioned recall occurred. Meanwhile, the older version of the overseas OMODA 5 has been discontinued, and the brand new CHERY 05 has cancelled the use of torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, adopting a multi-link independent rear suspension instead. The structure is different, so there is no need to worry about this batch of vehicles.

However, although Chery Automobile's attitude is commendable, such issues should indeed not have occurred.

It is believed that Chery Automobile, having suffered this setback, will invest more in the control of product quality in subsequent products.
