Chery Malaysia recalls Omoda 5 again over rear axle issue: How to check if you’re affected

Malaysia has initiated a recall for the pre-facelift version of the Omoda 5 SUV due to a rear axle issue, marking the second such recall after the initial one in 2024.

Chery Malaysia made the recall announcement following the Road Transport Department's temporary suspension of Vehicle Type Approval for the model after an incident in Johor.

Affected vehicles will undergo thorough inspections and necessary repairs at no charge.

The recall applies exclusively to the older Omoda 5 model, as the new Chery 05 and Omoda E5 models feature upgraded rear suspension systems.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — Malaysia has begun the recall process for the pre-facelift (FL) version of Omoda 5. While this is the 2nd major recall announcement for the SUV (the 1st recall happened in 2024), the reason is the same: Omoda 5’s rear axle.

The recall announcement was published on Chery Malaysia’s social media platforms several hours after the Road Transport Department (JPJ) said that it has temporarily suspended Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) for the Omoda 5 following a recent incident in Johor where the SUV’s rear axle detached while on the move.

JPJ also said that it has instructed Chery to identify and recall all units that are potentially at risk. Meanwhile, Chery said that all affected vehicles will receive comprehensive inspections, and any required follow-up actions, including component replacements, will be free of charge.

Omoda 5 was originally launched in July 2023 but has since been replaced by a facelifted model called Chery 05 last September. Chery 05 is equipped with a multi-link rear suspension system as opposed to the torsion beam setup on the Omoda 5.

Similarly, the fully electric Omoda E5 also comes with multi-link suspension on its rear. All three Chery models are locally assembled (CKD) at Inokom’s plant in Kulim, Kedah.

马来西亚已对改款前的 Omoda 5 SUV 进行召回，原因是后轴存在问题。这是继 2024 年首次召回之后的第二次此类召回。

在柔佛州发生一起事故后，陆路交通局暂时中止了该车型的车辆类型认证，奇瑞马来西亚随后宣布召回该车型。

受影响的车辆将接受全面检查和必要的免费维修。

此次召回仅适用于较老款的欧莫达5车型，因为新款奇瑞05和欧莫达E5车型均配备了升级的后悬架系统。

吉隆坡，10 月 12 日讯——马来西亚已开始召回改款前的 Omoda 5 车型。虽然这是该 SUV 的第二次重大召回（第一次召回发生在 2024 年），但原因相同：Omoda 5 的后轴存在问题。

在马来西亚陆路交通局 (JPJ) 宣布因柔佛州最近发生的一起 SUV 后轴在行驶中脱落的事故，暂时中止 Omoda 5 的车辆类型认证 (VTA) 数小时后，奇瑞马来西亚在其社交媒体平台上发布了召回公告。

陆路交通局（JPJ）还表示，已指示奇瑞汽车识别并召回所有可能存在风险的车辆。与此同时，奇瑞汽车表示，所有受影响的车辆都将接受全面检查，任何必要的后续措施，包括更换零部件，都将免费提供。

Omoda 5 最初于 2023 年 7 月上市，但已于去年 9 月被改款车型奇瑞 05 取代。奇瑞 05 配备了多连杆后悬架系统，而 Omoda 5 则采用扭力梁式后悬架。

同样，纯电动车型欧莫达E5的后悬架也采用了多连杆结构。这三款奇瑞车型均在位于吉打州居林的奇瑞控股工厂进行本地组装（CKD）。

如何查看您的奇瑞欧摩达5是否受到召回影响
