  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — XPeng Malaysia's official distributor, Bermaz XPeng, has initiated a voluntary recall of the X9 model over concerns with its front air suspension system. This comes in response to a similar recall action in China for X9 vehicles manufactured before August 11, 2025. The issue stems from differences in the manufacturing process potentially compromising the airtightness of the front air springs. When exposed to high temperatures and humidity over time, these springs can gradually lose air, leading to warning lights, text alerts, and even compromising vehicle handling, posing a safety risk.\n\nThe recall primarily impacts the pre-facelift XPeng X9 model, which was first introduced in Malaysia in March 2025, just two months ago. With the XPeng X9 facelift launched only two months prior, the recall is expected to affect pre-facelift models, accounting for the majority of units in Malaysia. According to Malaysian car registration data as of 31 July 2026, there are currently 839 registered X9 units in the country. Out of these, 481 units, or approximately 57 percent of all X9s in Malaysia, are likely affected by this recall.\n\nBermaz XPeng will offer free replacements of the entire front air suspension assembly for affected vehicles. Additionally, the front air suspension system will be covered by an 8-year / 160,000 km warranty from the vehicle's registration date, transferable to subsequent owners if the X9 is sold. For further information, X9 owners can contact XPeng Malaysia's customer service hotline at +603 7627 3883. Alternatively, owners can utilize the online checker tool available on XPeng Malaysia's official website to determine if their vehicle is among the affected units.",
