Geely recalled 92,915 cars for a lidar fault it will trace by cloud diagnostics
Geely filed two recalls covering 92,915 cars whose lidar power chip may be damaged, and told the regulator it would find the affected vehicles by reading early diagnostic signals from its cloud platform.
Zhejiang Geely Automobile filed two recall plans with China’s State Administration for Market Regulation covering 92,915 cars, the regulator said in a notice published on August 21. Both campaigns start on August 24.
The first covers 18,878 Geely Galaxy M9 cars built between July 20 and October 26, 2025. The second covers 74,037 Lynk & Co 900, 10 EM-P, 07 and 08 cars built between January 8 and December 10, 2025.
In both cases the regulator attributed the fault to variation in a supplier’s manufacturing process, which may have damaged the power integrated circuit inside the lidar unit. The consequence differs by model. On the Galaxy M9 the combined driving assistance function may drop out or refuse to activate. On the Lynk & Co cars, the notice said, the system’s recognition, warning and handling of what it called special targets may be inadequate once assistance is switched on.
The remedy is a free lidar replacement, but the notice was specific about how the cars would be found. Geely said it would identify early diagnostic signals through its cloud platform, warn vehicles likely to develop the fault in advance, and invite those owners in through its call center. Cars whose lidar had already been replaced under earlier work are excluded. Geely retains the Galaxy campaign and has delegated the Lynk & Co vehicles to that brand’s sales company.
