JAC Motors Australia has issued an urgent safety recall for its 2023–2024 T9 dual-cab 4×4 ute models due to a critical fault in the curtain airbag system.
The recall follows the discovery of a manufacturing defect where the retaining bolts for the curtain airbags may not have been properly tightened. This defect could prevent the airbags from deploying correctly in the event of an accident.
The malfunction presents a serious risk to vehicle occupants. In the event of a collision, airbags play a vital role in minimizing injuries. If the curtain airbags fail to deploy due to improperly secured bolts, the potential for serious or even fatal injuries increases significantly.
JAC Motors has classified this issue as a severe safety hazard and is urging owners of the affected vehicles to take swift action.
A total of 161 units of the JAC T9 ute, produced between 2023 and 2024, have been included in the recall. Vehicle owners are advised to consult the official Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list to confirm whether their vehicle is among those impacted. This information is available through the original recall notice and JAC Australia’s official channels.
JAC Motors has assured its customers that it is taking every measure to address the issue. Owners of the affected vehicles are being asked to book an appointment with an authorised JAC dealership for inspection and repair. The company will inspect and, if necessary, correct the airbag mounting issue at no cost to the owner.
The recall serves as a reminder of the importance of promptly addressing vehicle safety issues. Delaying repairs for critical components like airbags could jeopardize the wellbeing of drivers and passengers. Therefore, JAC T9 owners are strongly encouraged to take the matter seriously and act immediately.
To ensure full functionality of safety systems and maintain peace of mind on the road, affected owners should reach out to their nearest authorised JAC service centre. With the repair process free of charge, resolving the issue quickly ensures that the vehicle meets essential safety standards.
This proactive measure by JAC Motors underlines the company’s commitment to customer safety and responsible vehicle maintenance.
