Latest GWM recalls
- 14 Nov 2023 On affected vehicles if the Auxiliary charge (3 pin) cable is used with household extension leads and/or substandard domestic wall sockets for an extended period there is a possibility of the auxiliary charge cable 3 pin plug having a high electrical resistance causing excessive heat build-up. This in extreme cases may cause a failure of the 3-pin cable. If the vehicle is unlocked via the remote fob key during the AC charging process voltage is still present for a further 15 seconds within the charge socket. If the cable is unplugged from the car within this 15 second window there is a possibility of an electrical spark occurring. GWM Ora 03
- 15 Apr 2023 There is a problem with the internal algorithm of the E-Call controller. GWM Ora 03
Models mostly registered as vans are left out, as on our recalls hub. A recall applies to vehicles built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every GWM. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check. How we match recalls to models.
