| Reference | Date | Cars affected | Number | Defect | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R/2026/069 | 2 March 2026 | 1.6 TGDI petrol, front- and four-wheel drive. Press reports cars built April–December 2025; the plug-in hybrid is not included. DVSA lists it under year of manufacture 2025. | 7,317 | A clip on the engine-control (ECU) wiring harness may not have been fully engaged at the factory. The harness can then chafe, which can bring on the engine warning light and make the engine cut out while driving. The same defect was recalled in China on Jaecoo J7 and Tiggo 7 1.6T cars built in the same period. | Free inspection of the harness clip; the dealer refits it correctly and replaces the harness if it has worn. |
| R/2026/299 | 5 August 2026 | A specific batch of petrol and plug-in hybrid cars. DVSA lists 35 petrol cars (year 2025) and 1,293 plug-in hybrids (years 2025 and 2026); build dates are not published. | Not published | The wiring harness under the driver's seat may be routed wrongly and wear through. Effects can include the seat adjustment stopping, warning lights, losing the ability to change gear and, rarely, the engine cutting out while driving. | The dealer inspects the seat harness, reroutes it if needed and repairs any damaged insulation. |
