XPeng Recalls 33,473 X9 Vehicles Due to Air Spring Defect

[Product Recall] XPeng Motors has announced a recall of 33,473 X9 vehicles—the largest in the company's history.

Key Development: 33,473 X9 units recalled due to risk of front air spring air leakage

The recall affects vehicles manufactured between August 8, 2023, and August 11, 2025. The primary cause is process variation during manufacturing, which reduced the airtightness of the front air springs. In high-temperature and high-humidity environments, this may lead to slow air leakage, potentially affecting vehicle handling in extreme cases.

Key Details: Covers more than half of all deliveries; improved components replaced free of charge

The recall involves XPeng’s flagship MPV, the X9, and will be implemented starting August 28, 2026. Affected vehicles will receive a free replacement of the upgraded front air spring strut assembly. Vehicles that have already received this replacement ahead of schedule do not require further action.

Strategic Rationale: Safeguarding reputation in the premium MPV market

As XPeng’s core product for entering the premium family MPV segment, the X9 has drawn significant attention since its launch in January 2024. This proactive recall aims to eliminate safety risks and uphold brand credibility.
