Omoda Jaecoo Australia is recalling its debut model in Australia, the Jaecoo J7, as it could lose power suddenly.
The recall affects only Jaecoo J7 crossover SUVs equipped with the turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, with the plug-in hybrid SHS unaffected.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) wiring harness may chafe against the engine mounting bracket and become damaged,” the company says in its recall notice.
“As a result, this could lead to a sudden loss of motive power and/or engine shutdown without warning.
“A sudden loss of motive power and/or engine shut down whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
