The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a recall of more than 23 000 Chery vehicles in South Africa over safety defects affecting the rear axle and braking systems.

The recall covers the Tiggo 4, Omoda C5 and Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 models.

Owners are urged to contact authorised dealerships for free inspections and repairs.

The commission urges consumers to verify if their vehicles are affected using their VIN numbers on the Chery website.

Chery Tiggo 4

The NCC says it has been informed of a total of 17 508 Chery Tiggo 4 vehicles made available for sale between 17 October 2023 and 27 March 2024. These vehicles were sold nationally. According to the supplier, the affected vehicles may have welding irregularities at the rear axle sleeve.

Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0

Chery is recalling certain Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 vehicles manufactured from 20 May 2026 onwards, affecting 3 474 vehicles.

The front brake pipe may contact the turbocharger assembly, causing wear and potential brake-fluid leakage.

Omoda C5

Chery is also recalling 2 685 vehicles made available for sale between February 2023 and July 2026. According to the supplier, the rear axle sleeve may have welding defects. This could cause the rear axle to dislodge, resulting in rear suspension collapse.
