Chongqing Changan Automobile Co Ltd has issued a nationwide product safety recall for the 2025 Deepal E07 ‘Multitruck’ because it “may not” include a centre rear child seat anchor point.
Last week, Deepal Australia confirmed to CarExpert it had “temporarily paused sales and deliveries of the MY25 E07 to complete required compliance work”.
Then earlier this week the company emailed existing owners of its large five-seat SUV – which can be transformed into something like a ute by sliding its rear glass roof forward and lowering the tailgate – confirming the issue relates to ADR 34/03 (Child Restraint Anchorages), which requires a top-tether anchorage point in each rear seating position fitted with a seatbelt.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the rear middle seating position may not have been fitted with a child restraint anchor point as required by Australian Design Rule (ADR) 34/03 – Child Restraint Anchorages and Child Restraint Anchor Fittings. As a result, an infant or child car seat restraint cannot be securely installed,” said Deepal in its recall notice.
“In the event of an accident or hard braking, if the infant or child seat is not securely installed it could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
