The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has temporarily halted the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) and new registrations for the Chery Omoda 5 following a rear axle detachment incident in Johor Bahru last week. Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli revealed that the suspension would be applied selectively, targeting specific models and variants of the Chery Omoda 5 potentially impacted.
This precautionary measure is pending the completion of a technical investigation to identify any safety risks associated with the vehicle. Chery Malaysia is tasked with identifying and recalling all affected vehicles for inspection and corrective action. Additionally, the department will conduct a thorough technical audit of the production processes and the supplier of the axle components, ensuring adherence to good manufacturing practices, quality control systems, and safety standards.
The suspension will only be lifted after all corrective and preventive actions have been fully implemented and verified by the JPJ to ensure road user safety.
