2024–2025 GWM Haval H7

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Great Wall Motors Australia

Recall date: 18 December 2025

Defect

The HAVAL H7 headrest utilises a unilateral locking mechanism, where the locking pin slides downward along the headrest rod into the lock slot to secure the position. In affected vehicles, the locking groove may be out of specification, preventing proper engagement when the headrest is set to the lowest non-locking position.

Hazard

In the HAVAL H7, the headrest may detach during a severe frontal collision.

Remedy

An inspection is required to verify correct locking and retention.
