Chery Auto Malaysia Initiates Recall Campaign For Omoda 5 Variants C And H Following Incident

Chery Auto Malaysia has officially announced a safety recall campaign for the Chery Omoda 5, targeting the C and H trim variants across the country.

The recall follows a recent incident involving an Omoda 5 on public roads. In an official statement dated 11 October 2026, the carmaker confirmed that it has been collaborating directly with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) since the event was first reported to assess the situation and carry out necessary safety interventions.

Under the campaign, authorized service centers will perform thorough vehicle inspections and replace the affected components at no cost to vehicle owners.

Scope of the Campaign and Free Component Replacements

The proactive recall applies specifically to the petrol-powered Omoda 5 Variant C and Variant H units.

Chery Auto Malaysia stated that all impacted vehicles will receive a comprehensive technical evaluation. Should any irregularities or potential points of failure be detected during inspection, technical teams will execute full component replacements completely free of charge.

The distributor has also extended an open invitation to any Omoda 5 owner seeking added reassurance to visit an authorized Chery service network outlet, where service teams are prepared to run diagnostic checks.

How Owners Can Check Their VIN Status

To verify whether an individual vehicle falls under the affected production batch, owners can perform an online verification:

• Online Verification: Owners can enter their 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) directly into the verification portal on the official Chery Malaysia website to determine if their car requires inspection.
• Direct Customer Support: Owners and customers seeking clarification or assistance regarding appointments can contact the dedicated Chery Careline at 03-9388 0888.

Chery Auto Malaysia expressed its apologies to customers for the disruption and distress caused by the campaign, maintaining that the company remains dedicated to handling the matter with transparency while ensuring user safety and brand confidence across its ownership base.
