On October 12, Chery Auto Malaysia released an official statement indicating that it had begun a recall campaign for the Chery Omoda 5 following the road transport department’s (JPJ) temporary suspension of the vehicle’s type approval (VTA) after an incident where a rear axle detached from an example of the SUV.
Now, the company has announced new details about the recall campaign, indicating that it covers a total of 8,878 Omoda 5 vehicles (both C & H variants). It said it has identified the affected vehicles and will proactively contact the respective owners.
The company said that all vehicles included in the campaign are eligible for a complimentary inspection and replacement at any authorised Chery service centre nationwide. It added that it is making an effort to expedite the delivery of replacement components, and said that the first shipment has been dispatched and will be delivered to service centres in stages.
