Chery Omoda E5 Recalled After Two Incidents
Maybe for a car like Omoda, the brand is still relatively new because it was first launched last year. But models like the Omoda 5 have been selling quite well in the global market over the past few months. This is what makes Chery present an environmentally friendly variant in the form of the Omoda E5, and just like the conventional model, this model is also selling well.
However, news recently emerged regarding a broken rear tire axle of the Omoda E5 in Malaysia. It turned out that this incident had occurred twice there, and of course Chery didn’t want to just keep quiet. They then announced a recall of the Omoda E5 to resolve the problem before another incident reappears.
Only in Malaysia?
From existing reports, the rear tire axle on the Omoda E5 can break by itself even if the car is not on a pothole or bumpy road. It seems that not only the electric version is being recalled, the Omoda 5 is also being recalled, of course to determine whether similar problems are also found on this model. Although actually only the Omoda 5 is assembled locally in Malaysia, while the E5 is imported from the Land of Bamboo Curtain.
It is clear that the news of the recall of the Omoda 5 and E5 in Malaysia has raised concerns about the models sold in Indonesia. However, Chery confirmed that this recall only occurred there, especially since the models assembled were different from those sold in Malaysia. Both the Omoda 5 and E5 are assembled locally here.
