In a major safety announcement affecting thousands of vehicle owners across the UAE, Geely and its local distributor AGMC have initiated a recall of more than 5,500 Geely Emgrand sedans due to a potential fuel system safety issue. The recall was officially confirmed in December 2025 and impacts specific production dates of the popular Geely Emgrand model sold in the Emirates.

What’s the Issue? Fuel Filler Cap Defect

Geely’s engineering team, based out of its headquarters in Hangzhou, China, identified a defect in a component of the Emgrand’s fuel system: a non-vented fuel filler cap. 

This non-vented cap can cause a vacuum pressure build-up inside the fuel tank after long periods of driving — a problem that can potentially deform the tank and increase the risk of fuel leakage. In extreme situations, this deformation might allow the fuel tank to press against the fuel pump plunger, increasing the possibility of a fuel leak. This safety concern prompted Geely to act proactively, underlining the company’s focus on customer safety and compliance with UAE vehicle safety standards.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall specifically applies to 5,584 Geely Emgrand sedans that were produced between August 3, 2023 and July 4, 2024.

Owners of Geely Emgrand models registered in the UAE within this period should verify their vehicle’s eligibility through a VIN check at an authorized AGMC service center or by contacting AGMC customer support.

This recall is one of the largest recent automotive recalls in the UAE involving a single model from a Chinese brand, reflecting both the volume of Emgrand sales locally and the importance of stringent safety practices.

What Will Geely & AGMC Do?

Geely and AGMC have assured owners that all necessary corrective work will be carried out free of charge at authorized service centers across the UAE.

The recall service includes:

• Replacement of the fuel filler cap with a properly vented unit

• Cleaning of the carbon canister to remove any pressure-related residue

• Inspection of all related fuel system components

• Replacement of any defective parts as needed

According to AGMC, the goal is to ensure a smooth, safe driving experience for customers and restore full confidence in the affected vehicles.

How to Check If Your Car Is Recalled

If you own a Geely Emgrand in the UAE and suspect your vehicle may be part of the recall:

1. Contact an authorized AGMC service center — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or other emirates

2. Provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

3. AGMC will verify recall eligibility and schedule your free service

Owners should respond promptly, even if they have not experienced any symptoms, as this is a preventive safety recall rather than a response to reported incidents.

Why This Recall Matters to UAE Drivers

The UAE is a mature automotive market where safety recalls are taken seriously by regulators and manufacturers alike. Quick, transparent action on potential safety issues — such as this one — benefits both drivers and the broader reputation of automakers operating in the region.

While no widespread accidents have been publicly linked to this specific fuel cap issue, proactive recalls help reduce future risks and enhance overall vehicle safety standards.

For owners, this recall highlights the importance of staying informed about vehicle updates and reporting any unusual signs (such as fuel odors or dashboard warnings) to dealerships immediately.
