Jaecoo Malaysia recently released investigation results regarding a fire incident involving a Jaecoo J7 vehicle in the country.
The cause of the fire was attributed to the installation of a substandard third-party dashcam by the Jaecoo J7 owner. It is possible that during the installation process, the vehicle’s electrical system was damaged, leading to overheating and subsequent fire and explosion.
Following this unfortunate incident, Jaecoo advised customers to only perform repairs, maintenance, and installations at authorized service centers. Modifying vehicles through non-genuine units can be dangerous and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
In reality, there have been numerous incidents of electrical faults and car fires caused by customers’ unauthorized additions of aftermarket “accessories” from non-genuine, substandard workshops. Recently, a similar incident occurred in Vietnam involving a VinFast VF 3 vehicle. The car suddenly caught fire while in motion due to the owner’s installation of Vision X8 LED lights with a power rating of 40-90 W, twice the vehicle’s load capacity, resulting in an electrical overload and subsequent fire.

The Jaecoo J7 was officially launched in the Vietnamese market on January 15. Currently, the vehicle is offered at promotional prices starting from 729 million VND for the gasoline version and 919 million VND for the hybrid plug-in electric version (PHEV).
