XPeng Recalls 33,473 X9 Vehicles Over Air Suspension System Defect

[Product Recall] XPeng Motors is recalling 33,473 X9 vehicles due to a defect in the air suspension system.

Core Issue: Manufacturing Variability Causes Air Spring Leakage

XPeng X9 vehicles produced between August 8, 2023, and August 11, 2025, are affected by reduced airtightness in the front air springs, which may lead to slow air leakage under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. In extreme cases, this could impair vehicle handling and pose a safety risk.

Key Figures: Over 33,000 Vehicles Affected

The recall will take effect starting August 28, 2026, covering a total of 33,473 vehicles. Vehicles that have already received upgraded components do not require further action.

Industry Impact: Extended Warranty Fails to Quell Criticism Over Delayed Response

As early as August 2025, owners began reporting concentrated issues of air suspension collapse, yet the official recall was not initiated until nearly a year later, raising concerns among users about XPeng’s responsiveness and quality control systems.
