    The GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), Tank 300 HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle), Tank 500 HEV and Tank 500 PHEV have been recalled due to a potential wiring fault which may cause drivability issues.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect, the shielding ring in the high voltage wiring harness may not be properly grounded,” the recall notice said.

    “This can reduce the effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding, which may cause abnormal communication with the engine and transmission control systems.

    “As a result, warning lights may illuminate, vehicle torque may be reduced, and cooling performance of the hybrid system may be affected.
