The fallout from the rear axle failure involving a Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia last month has reached a global scale, with several recalls being announced almost simultaneously. Naturally, its home market of China was the first to be alerted last week, with Chery filing a report with the state administration for market regulation (SAMR) on November 6.
In the said report, the carmaker noted that the recall, which will commence on November 27, will involve a total of 53,882 vehicles in the Middle Kingdom. These include the Omoda 5 as well as the Tiggo 5X (sold in updated form in Malaysia as the Tiggo Cross, which is not involved in the recall), produced between June 6, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
