Deepal Pauses E07 Sales in Australia as 218 Vehicles Recalled for Child-Seat Anchor Breach

Overview

• The government notice dated 10 March cites a manufacturing defect that left some E07s without a rear‑centre child‑restraint anchorage.
• Deepal says replacement parts are being expedited and dealers will carry out the fix free of charge once components arrive.
• All affected owners have been notified and advised the vehicles remain driveable if no child seat is installed in the middle rear position.
• The recall warns a child seat cannot be securely fitted without the tether point, increasing injury risk in a crash or under hard braking.
• ADR 34/03 has previously driven recalls for the BYD Atto 3 and facelifted 2024 Tesla Model 3, while Deepal’s S07 complies and is not affected.
