Can you keep driving a JAECOO J7 before the repair?

The fault covered by the recall may cause the engine to stop while driving, which raises the risk of a crash. We therefore advise owners of 2026 JAECOO J7 vehicles to check their VIN on the official recall platform and to contact the dealer as soon as possible if the vehicle is included.

If the engine stops while driving, or symptoms that may relate to this fault appear, pull over in a safe place and do not continue driving until you have the dealer’s guidance on inspection or vehicle recovery. Symptoms are not required for a vehicle to be covered: the VIN is what counts.

This is precautionary advice from us, not a Ministry of Commerce directive to stop driving all vehicles.
