Chery Announces Recall Of Nearly 2,000 Tiggo 4 Pro Units In Australia, This Is The Cause

JAKARTA - Unpleasant news came from the automotive manufacturer from China, Chery in Australia, which announced the withdrawal of 1,923 units of the Tiggo 4 Pro model.

CarExpert reportedly, Wednesday, February 12, the notification came after the manufacturer found an error in the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system so that the car did not comply with vehicle regulations in the country.

The manufacturer said this was caused by a software problem so that the alarm on the AEB system could not be activated when the car was driven.

"Due to the software issue, the vehicle may not have activated the autonomous emergency braking sound alarm," Chery wrote.

Without an alarm or notification on the AEB system, this increases the risk of accidents that could cause injury or death to drivers, passengers, and other road users.

"Aeb's sound alarm failure could increase the risk of accidents resulting in injury or death for vehicle passengers and/or other road users," added Chery.

For owners of Tiggo 4 Pro in Kangaroo Country, they can bring their affected vehicles to contact or visit the dealer network to update the AEB software for free.

This adds to the negative trend of Chery branded vehicles launching in the global market. Previously, the manufacturer recalled 420 units of Omoda 5 units in Indonesia last year due to problems with the rear axle. This is a continuation of the withdrawal in Malaysia involving 600 units of the same car as similar problems.

In the middle of last year, the brand from China also announced a recall of 90 Tiggo 5X units in the Philippines due to the same problem as Omoda 5, namely the ear axle potentially broken.
