Chinese EV maker Xpeng to recall 33,473 X9 vehicles BEIJING, July 24 (Reuters) - Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng 9868.HK will recall 33,473 X9 vehicles manufactured between August 8, 2023, and August 11, 2025, due to safety hazards, a statement released by China's market regulator on Friday showed.
Some of the cars covered in the recall may see reduced airtightness of the front air springs, which could cause a gradual air leak after extended use in hot and humid conditions, triggering malfunction alerts or, in extreme cases, affecting vehicle handling, the statement said.
