Proton X70 CBU recalled for radiator fan assembly

Proton X70 CBU recalled for radiator fan assembly

The fully imported (CBU) Proton X70 is the subject of a recall for the cooling fan assembly, according to a service bulletin sent to service centres, sighted by paultan.org.

Categorised as a “service fix”, the recall involves a batch of the CBU X70 that is fitted with cooling fan assemblies made by Valeo, installed in vehicles before the effective chassis number L6T7742Z8KU043589.

This is a mandatory part replacement for the vehicles involved, and service centres will have been notified via a “pop-up” system that will have sent the notification from May 21 for Peninsular Malaysia, and from June 1 for East Malaysia.

Vehicles manufactured after this chassis number will have received the upgraded cooling fan assembly made by LangXin, according to the service bulletin. As mentioned, the recall affects only the CBU (fully imported) batch of the Proton X70 before the chassis number listed above.

The national carmaker’s C-segment SUV transitioned into CKD local assembly with the launch of the 2020 model update, which brought a host of improvements including a seven-speed, wet-clutch DCT.

        Copy paste: “Not only P1 having parts shortages, P2 also having parts shortages. I sent my Aruz to their workshop on 27th. February and until now my vehicle is still in their workshop due to shortage in spare parts. Everytime I enquire, the answer is, “Sorry, spare parts takde”. Somemore injury is that I have to pay 50% of the parts upfront and have to wait the spare parts until now.”

    All the while we watch Review Video, ok Jerr?
    CBU barang, barang tip top?

    Buyer should be careful, pre-mature aging issue won’t able to qualified/quantified for review and comments as per our local video standard. Transparency for this is difficult to achieve.

    Janji ada recall, replace, repair, before things get worse. Good practice.

    They should recall the CBU units to replace that crappy jerking 6AT gearbox too.

    Agree with Seancorr, mine have the same jerking gearbox problem. Brought my car to KEB, they just upgraded the software hoping to resolve the problem but the problem still persist. Have to make another appointment to send my car in again. The could have just replaced the gearbox than to blame the software.

    Im really not satisfied with x70 because some of interior part like rubber melting when weather very hot and gearbox also give me problem.. Already complain to service center but technician said all good but yet when I drive for few weeks I’ll feel got problem with gearbox. This x70 only 3years old and give me very bad experience. One of my fren already sell of the car because off gearbox problem(proton already replace the new gearbox but still got problem..

    Proton gearbox issue is worst than VW DSG. If other basic issue cannot setel, then gearbox issue surely will put on waiting list.

    Dear PaulTan team, I need help
    . I’ve sent my vehicle to replace the radiator. After they’ve changed the radiator, after driving the car less than 2 KM, the “ACC status warning lamp” is red. I parked the car at the roadside and noticed the bumper was not installed correctly pressing hard against the ACC sensor. Went back to service sensor and they blamed me for damaging the sensor and told me I might need to pay ~RM4k to replace the sensor (since my warranty is over by one week). What should I do?
