Chery Group SA recalls selected Tiggo 4 and Omoda C5 vehicles
Chery Group South Africa (CGSA) has announced a recall of selected Tiggo 4 and Omoda C5 vehicles.
The campaign relates to a rear-axle manufacturing issue that may affect the weld between the rear axle trailing arm and sleeve on some vehicles.
“In extreme and rare circumstances, the weld could fail and separate, which could affect wheel control and increase the risk of an accident,” notes the manufacturer.
“Inclusion in the recall does not mean that every vehicle has a defective rear axle.”
Owners can check their vehicle’s recall status using the online VIN checker on the Chery South Africa Owners Area or the Omoda VIN checker.
Affected owners will also receive a message advising them to contact or visit their nearest authorised dealer to arrange a vehicle inspection.
CGSA says the recall campaign in South Africa involves 17 508 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro vehicles and 2 685 Omoda C5 vehicles produced between June 6, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
The manufacturer says the affected models are no longer produced, and that the current models on sale in the local market are not part of the recall.
“Vehicles included in the campaign will be inspected by an authorised dealer. Where necessary, the complete rear axle will be replaced free of charge.”
