Chery Omoda 5 rear axle recall widens to several markets
Read in: English · 中文 · Bahasa Melayu
Chery’s rear axle recall for the Omoda 5 has expanded beyond Malaysia to China, Indonesia, Australia and South Africa. The issue involves a possible welding defect on the rear axle assembly.
Chery’s rear axle recall for the Omoda 5 has now spread to several overseas markets after the same issue surfaced in Malaysia last month.
In China, Chery filed a report with the state administration for market regulation on 6 November 2026. The recall there will start on 27 November and covers 53,882 vehicles, including the Omoda 5 and the Tiggo 5X built between 6 June 2022 and 31 December 2023.
The defect is the same one reported in Malaysia: the trailing arm and sleeve on the rear axle may have been poorly welded, which can cause the axle to fail and detach. Chery said affected rear axles will be checked by production date code and replaced if they come from a defective batch.
Indonesia and South Africa also announced recalls on Tuesday. Australia followed with its own recall today for Omoda 5 units built between 11 January 2023 and 31 December 2023. The article also notes that all affected cars use torsion beam rear suspension.
What it means for you: Omoda 5 owners should check with their local Chery dealer as soon as possible if their car may be within the affected production range.
