Where the rear axle of the SUV broke while moving in the middle of the road and the wheels got separated. After which, in October, Malaysia's Road Transport Department (JPJ) temporarily stopped the Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) for the old petrol model of Omoda 5. After this decision, new vehicles could not be registered under the relevant approval until the investigation and safety evaluation is completed. After this, the company had announced the recall of a total of 8,878 vehicles of Omoda 5 C and H.
