All Known Issues

Automatic emergency braking disabled in cold weather recall (R/2020/076)

SeriousBrakes

DVSA recall R/2020/076 covers LEVC TX vehicles built between October 2019 and March 2020, where the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system will not operate between 10 and 40 degrees Celsius. AEB is a safety-critical braking function, so an unresolved recall leaves the car without automatic braking support in everyday UK temperatures and should be fixed with a free dealer software update.

Est. Repair Cost: £0 (free recall repair)
Warning Signs:

AEB system unavailable or disabled warning, No automatic braking intervention in normal temperatures

What to Inspect:
  • Enter the registration on the GOV.UK vehicle recall checker
  • Ask for proof that recall R/2020/076 software update was applied
  • Confirm build date is within October 2019 to March 2020

Official Recalls & Reference Documents:

Cracked or chipped windscreen

ModerateBodywork & Rust

The LEVC TX's large, vertically mounted front windscreen is prone to stone chips and cracks, and windscreen/wiper/mirror faults are the most common MOT failure area on the model. A crack in the driver's line of sight is an MOT failure, and a full windscreen replacement on this large, specially shaped unit is a dealer-dominated job.

Est. Repair Cost: £250–£450
Warning Signs:

Chip or crack visible in the windscreen, Wiper does not clear the screen effectively, MOT failure on windscreen or mirrors

What to Inspect:
  • Inspect the windscreen, especially the driver's sightline, for chips and cracks
  • Run the wipers and washers and check both door mirrors are intact
  • Review past MOT certificates for windscreen advisories or failures

Suspension pins and bushes wear

ModerateSuspension & Chassis

Worn suspension pins and bushes are a recurring MOT failure on the LEVC TX, particularly on higher-mileage ex-taxi examples that have spent years over London speed cushions and potholes. Excessively worn pins and bushes cause a test failure, while worn-but-not-excessive examples generate advisories that will likely need attention soon after purchase.

Est. Repair Cost: £150–£350
Warning Signs:

Knocking or rattling from the suspension over bumps, Vague or loose steering feel, MOT failure or advisory for worn suspension pins or bushes

What to Inspect:
  • Push down on each corner; the body should rise once and settle
  • Listen for knocks over speed bumps and rough roads on a test drive
  • Check MOT history for repeated suspension pins and bushes advisories

Buying Tips for 2019–2020 Geely LEVC TX

  • Confirm the car is a genuine LEVC TX (not the older diesel TX4) by checking the VIN and the charging port, since the two look similar from a distance.
  • Ask for proof that DVSA recalls R/2020/076 (AEB software) and R/2022/111 (fuel-tank locking ring) were completed; both are free dealer fixes.
  • Check the windscreen for chips or cracks, especially in the driver's line of sight, as windscreens are a leading MOT failure on this model and a replacement is not cheap.
  • Push down on each corner and listen for suspension knocks over speed bumps; worn suspension pins and bushes are a common MOT failure on higher-mileage TXs.
  • Verify the battery's usable electric range on a full charge and test that the petrol range extender starts and maintains charge when the battery is low.
  • Review the full MOT history on GOV.UK for repeated advisories on tyres, brakes and suspension pins before committing to a purchase.
