Vehicles take us to our destinations in a breeze.

Yet, drivers of a famous SUV need to hit the brakes for now and check if their vehicle is affected by an urgent recall.


The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts issued a recall notice for 1,923 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro units.

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro has been one of the fastest-selling small SUVs in Australia today.

According to the recall notice, the heart of the matter lies with the vehicle's autonomous emergency braking (AEB) technology.


'Due to a software issue, the vehicle may not have the Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) sound alarm activated,' Vehicle Recalls Australia wrote in the notice.

'Failure of the AEB sound alarm could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.'

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro also did not meet the Australian Design Rule (ADR) 98/01—a feature designed to prevent collisions by automatically applying brakes once the vehicle detects an imminent impact.

Vehicle Recalls Australia listed the affected Vehicle Identification Numbers in their official notice.


Chery urged the owners of the affected Tiggo 4 Pro models to contact their nearest Chery dealership to arrange for a software update for their AEB system.

This fix should be free of charge to ensure safety when driving a Tiggo 4 Pro.

Chery Tiggo 4 Pro has captured Aussie drivers' attention both due to its tech-savvy features and its affordability.

With a starting price of just $23,990 drive-away, it's one of the country's most cost-effective new cars.

Chery sold over a thousand units in January alone and overtook competitors like the Kia Seltos, Honda HR-V, and Subaru Crosstrek.

Yet, with great sales comes great responsibility, and the recall highlighted the importance of maintaining rigorous safety standards.


This recall is not the first time that Australian Design Rules (ADRs) have put the brakes on vehicle sales.

In recent news, the ADR 98/100 forced several carmakers to discontinue sales of specific vehicles.

Starting 1 March, the Australian Government should be pushing out the changes requiring new vehicles to have autonomous emergency braking (AEB).

Brands like Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Renault, and even luxury brands like Aston Martin and Lamborghini got hit by the ADR 98/100 rule.

These updates reflected the country's commitment to road safety.
