Chinese carmaker Chery has issued recalls in at least four countries after social media posts of an Omoda 5 losing its rear axle recently went viral. At the time of writing, the Omoda 5 has been recalled in China, Malaysia, South Africa, and Australia.
Additionally, Chery offices in China have also called back select units of the Chery Tiggo 5X, which shares a platform with the Omoda crossover. There, the recall only includes Tiggo 5X and Omoda 5 units produced between June 6, 2022, and December 31, 2023. All in all, that counts for 53,882 vehicles.
This comes as the second major recall in the lifespan of the Omoda 5. In 2024, the crossover had another infamous moment on Malaysian roads as its rear axle had come undone. This led to its first mass recall. Following this most recent issue, the local government has suspended the registration of new Omoda 5 units.

It is still unclear if the Omoda 5 units in the Philippines will eventually be recalled. Top Gear Philippines has reached out to Chery’s local distributor, the UAAGI Auto Group, for further information.
Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines have also yet to disclose any details about a potential recall. It should be noted that locally, this brand operates with a different distributor. Watch this space for the latest updates.
