GWM & Haval Recalls — Australia & UK
Five official recalls cover GWM in Australia. Four sit in the ute/off-road family and the new H7; the fifth — which we initially missed and have corrected — is the 2023 Ora’s charging-arc recall. The volume sellers Jolion and H6 still have zero Australian recalls to date. The most serious items: the Cannon Alpha’s steering-harness recall — sudden loss of power steering or engine shutdown — and the Ora charging fix. Check those VINs before anything else.

| Reference | Date | Model | Cars | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| REC-006516 (8825BC9) | Dec 2025 | Cannon Alpha PHEV, Tank 300 HEV, Tank 500 HEV/PHEV (2025) | 1,445 | High-voltage shielding: a shield ring may be ungrounded — engine/transmission communication faults, warning lights, reduced torque, weakened hybrid cooling. Free fix. |
| REC-006513 (8825CC3) | Dec 2025 | Haval H7 (2024–25) | 680 | Headrest locking groove may be out of spec — the headrest could detach in a severe frontal crash. Free inspection. |
| REC-006410 (88255C6) | Aug 2025 | Cannon Alpha — all variants (2023–25) | 2,457 | Steering: the EPS wiring harness can contact the driveshaft and get damaged — sudden loss of power steering or engine shutdown without warning. Book immediately. |
| REC-005843 (88237C4) | Dec 2023 | Ora — all variants (2023) | 1,659 | Charging safety: a programming error means unplugging the cable without cancelling the charge can draw an electrical arc between plug and car — risk of serious injury. Free software update; confirm it’s done on any used Ora. |
| REC-006123 (8823BC5) | Oct 2024 | GWM Cannon diesel (2023) | 2,872 | Fire risk: wrong lubricant on the fuel-filter O-ring — seal degrades, diesel can leak. Free O-ring replacement. |

United Kingdom
No DVSA recalls are recorded for GWM (Ora) in the UK to date — checked 21 August 2026, re-checked weekly. The UK news is a market event instead: the Ora 03 was withdrawn from sale in April 2026. If you own one, the recall picture is clean, but the ownership question is continuity — GWM’s public commitments cover servicing and parts for the existing fleet; keep your service network receipts, and check gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall periodically as for any car.
How to use this page
- Cannon Alpha owners: two recalls, both serious. One VIN check covers both — do it today, not at the next service.
- Buying a used 2023 Cannon diesel or any Cannon Alpha: dealer paperwork for the recall work, not verbal assurance.
- Recall work is free, forever, and the obligation follows the car — including cars bought used.
- No cross-market assumptions: like Chery — and unlike MG — GWM’s recalls are market-specific batch defects.
