AGMC, the authorized distributor for Geely vehicles in the United Arab Emirates, has announced a significant voluntary recall affecting 5,584 Geely Emgrand sedans. This action comes in response to a manufacturing defect identified by Geely’s headquarters in China, specifically involving the fuel filler cap in vehicles produced between August 3, 2023, and July 4, 2024.
The recall addresses a potentially hazardous engineering issue where a non-vented fuel filler cap may create excessive vacuum pressure within the fuel system during prolonged operation. Under extreme conditions, this pressure differential could potentially deform the fuel tank structure and cause contact with the fuel pump plunger, creating a potential fuel leakage risk.
AGMC has established comprehensive remediation procedures for affected vehicle owners. The company will replace the faulty fuel filler caps free of charge, followed by thorough cleaning of the carbon canister and complete inspection of all related components. Should technicians discover any additional defective parts during this process, AGMC has committed to replacing these components at no cost to consumers.
The distributor emphasized its commitment to vehicle safety and customer satisfaction, noting that all recall-related services will be performed without financial burden to Emgrand owners. AGMC is directly notifying affected customers through official channels to schedule appointments at authorized service centers across the UAE.
