Chery Recalls 23,667 Vehicles in South Africa Over Axle and Brake Defects
Chery is recalling 23,667 vehicles in South Africa over potential rear axle welding and brake pipe defects, the country's National Consumer Commission announced on Tuesday. The largest group is 17,508 Tiggo 4 SUVs sold between October 2023 and March 2024, joined by 2,685 Omoda C5 crossovers sold from February 2023 to July 2026. In those vehicles, welding irregularities at the rear axle sleeve could let the axle dislodge and the rear suspension collapse. A separate group of 3,474 Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 models faces a front brake pipe that may rub against the turbocharger assembly, risking brake fluid leakage. The commission also disclosed an investigation, opened in October, into allegations that Chery previously recalled vehicles without notifying the regulator. Repairs in South Africa are free, and the action follows a related recall of 53,882 vehicles announced in China on November 6.
