Chery Automobile announced the review of 3,037 Chery Tiggo 5x crossovers produced between August 22, 2023 and October 30, 2023 in the Chinese domestic market. The problem is that on these crossovers the rear axle can fall out.

“Due to problems with the welding equipment on some affected vehicles, the trailing arm and trailing beam bushing may not be reliably welded. In exceptional cases, the weld between the trailing arm of the rear beam and the hub may break, causing the wheel to be lost and posing a safety hazard. “, this is how the ITHome resource describes the problem.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified and invited to replace the rear suspension. The description of the problem almost exactly describes the high-profile situation that occurred in Malaysia on the Omoda C5 crossover – it also occurred due to the rear wheel falling off, as well as poor welding.
