ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Chery Omoda 5 recall is a significant concern for Australian dealers, as it directly impacts customer safety and trust in the brand

What it means for customer trust

The rear axle problem is a critical safety issue that can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle, and dealers must take swift action to rectify the situation

Dealers must notify all affected customers and provide them with a clear plan for implementing the recall fix, to mitigate any potential damage to the brand's reputation

Competitor response and market impact

Competitors in the small SUV segment, such as other Chinese brands, may seize on this recall as an opportunity to promote their own safety records and attract disillusioned Chery customers

Dealers must be prepared to respond to these competitor tactics and reassure customers of the Chery brand's commitment to safety and quality

Taking decisive action

This week, dealers should prioritize notifying affected customers and implementing the recall fix, to demonstrate their commitment to customer safety and maintain trust in the brand
