Is there a UK recall for wheel bearings on the Jaecoo 7?

No. DVSA lists a February 2026 Omoda 5 recall (R/2026/013): a driveshaft nut that may not be locked properly can cause wheel vibration and abnormal noise. It is not listed for any Jaecoo 7, and whether the Jaecoo uses the same nut has not been established.

Is a failed wheel bearing covered by the warranty?

In both reports here that say who paid, the dealer replaced the bearing or hub under warranty. The other reports do not say. On a UK car, ask the dealer to confirm which part of the warranty covers it.

Jaecoo 7 wheel bearings failing

Owners of the Omoda C5 and the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro Max, built on the same platform as the Jaecoo 7, report a wheel hub bearing or a complete hub being replaced, one as early as 10,000 km. On the two Omoda C5s the dealer replaced the part under warranty, one after finding the fault at a routine service; none of the reports describes the noise before the repair.

Affected versions: 1.6 TGDI petrol, SHS hybrids (SHS-P, SHS-H) · 7-speed dual-clutch, hybrid DHT · 2025, 2026
Owner reports: 5 owners: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro 2, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max 1, Omoda C5 2
Typical mileage: Not enough reports gave a mileage
Most common fix: Hub bearing or rear hub replaced under warranty by the dealer (2 of 5 reports)
Covered by a recall?: No UK recall found
Last updated: November 2026

Platform-level evidence. No report comes from the Jaecoo 7 itself; all come from sister cars on the same platform with the same part.

What owners report

A Tiggo 7 Pro Max 1.6 owner had a wheel hub bearing replaced at 10,000 km. ^[3]
On a 2024 Omoda C5 1.5T a hub bearing failure was picked up at a scheduled service, and the dealer replaced the bearing under warranty. The owner otherwise rates the car highly. ^[4]
A 2023 Omoda C5 owner reports the rear wheel hub was replaced under warranty, without saying what was wrong with it. ^[5]
A Tiggo 7 Pro 1.5T owner whose car had no problems for its first 50,000 km lists a hub bearing among the parts replaced after that. ^[1]

Evidence comes from: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro (2), Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max (1), Omoda C5 (2). No Jaecoo J7 owner reports a wheel bearing failure in this data. The reports come from Omoda C5, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro Max cars, mostly 1.5T, built on the same platform; we did not check whether their hubs and bearings are the same parts as on the UK Jaecoo 7 (part numbers not compared).

Known causes

No confirmed cause yet. No report says why the bearing failed. ^[3],[4]

What to ask your dealer

“I can hear a hum or rumble that changes with road speed. Can you road-test the car and check the wheel bearings for play and noise with the wheels off the ground?”
“If a bearing has failed, is the repair covered by the warranty, and is it the bearing alone or the whole hub?”
“Can you check the driveshaft nut is correctly tightened and locked while the hub is apart?”
“Please write the noise on the job card even if you cannot find it today, so the complaint is on record.”

Is it safe to keep driving?

A worn wheel bearing usually shows as a hum or rumble that rises with speed, sometimes louder when cornering; it tends to get worse, and a badly worn bearing can affect steering and braking. Book the car in with a dealer soon. If the noise turns into grinding, the wheel feels loose, the car pulls or the steering wheel vibrates, stop driving and arrange recovery. Do not try to replace a wheel bearing yourself.
