Xpeng X9 air‑spring suspension recall in China

In late July 2026, Chinese EV maker Xpeng announced a large‑scale recall of 33,473 X9 vehicles built between 8 August 2023 and 11 August 2025. The recall targets a front air‑spring suspension component that can lose air under high‑temperature, high‑humidity conditions, potentially affecting vehicle stability. Owners have been warned of dashboard alerts and sagging chassis, especially in hot regions such as Chongqing.

The repair programme, slated to begin on 28 August 2026, will replace the front air‑spring slide‑pillar assembly at no cost to owners. The July 27 notice reiterates the same figures and remediation schedule, confirming the recall’s scope and the manufacturer’s commitment to a hardware fix following earlier complaints and an interim warranty extension.

Both announcements emphasize Xpeng’s focus on safety and the need to address manufacturing variability that compromised component airtightness.
