Geely Auto is recalling 92,915 vehicles in China over a LiDAR defect that could cause driver-assistance functions to shut down or prevent systems from properly identifying unusual objects.
The company submitted two recall plans to China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), with both recalls taking effect on August 24.
Two Recalls Cover Geely and Lynk & Co Models
The first recall affects 18,878 Geely Galaxy M9 vehicles manufactured between July 20 and October 26, 2025. The Galaxy M9 is a large plug-in hybrid SUV and one of the flagship models in the Geely Galaxy lineup.
The second recall covers 74,037 vehicles from Lynk & Co, including the Lynk & Co 900, Lynk & Co 10 EM-P, Lynk & Co 07 and Lynk & Co 08. The affected vehicles were produced between January 8 and December 10, 2025.
Together, the two campaigns involve 92,915 vehicles.
LiDAR Defect Could Affect Driver Assistance
According to the recall notices, process variations at a supplier may have damaged a power IC inside the LiDAR unit.
On the Geely Galaxy M9, the defect could cause driver-assistance functions to exit or prevent them from activating.
For the affected Lynk & Co vehicles, the issue could prevent the assisted-driving system from adequately identifying, warning about or responding to unusual objects after the system has been activated.
Geely will replace the affected LiDAR units free of charge.
Geely to Identify Potentially Affected Vehicles
Geely plans to use a cloud platform to monitor early diagnostic signals and identify vehicles that may be affected by the defect.
The company’s customer service team will then contact owners and invite them to visit service locations for the replacement.
Vehicles that have already received a replacement LiDAR unit will not require another replacement.
Earlier Reports Flagged LiDAR Problems
The recall follows reports from Chinese media earlier in August concerning repeated alerts on some affected vehicles.
Owners of models including the Lynk & Co 900 and Lynk & Co 10 had reportedly encountered dashboard warnings such as “front LiDAR malfunction” and “assisted driving speed limited.”
A Lynk & Co insider said on August 12 that the company was working with its supplier to investigate the cause of the issue.
