Is your vehicle at risk? Motor company issues recall for popular model over safety concerns

The safety of our vehicles is something we all take seriously, and when a recall is issued, it's crucial to take immediate action.

For owners of JAC vehicles, this is one of those times when attention is required.

JAC Motors has announced a recall of T9 models due to a significant fault that could lead to dangerous situations on the road.


The issue with the JAC T9 ute involves the turbo actuator module.

‘Due to the failure of the turbo actuator module, the vehicle may inadvertently activate limp-home mode, resulting in a gradual reduction of motive power while driving,’ the carmaker explained.

‘A gradual reduction in motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to the vehicle occupants and/or other road users.’

The consequences of such a fault are not to be underestimated, as a sudden reduction in motive power can drastically increase the risk of an accident.

This puts not only the vehicle occupants in danger but also other road users, with the potential for injury or even death.


The recall notice JAC Motors issued highlighted the problem's severity and the company's commitment to addressing it.

Twenty-nine 2024 vehicles are affected, and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list can be found here.

If you own a JAC T9, it's imperative to check if your vehicle is part of the recall.
