Li Auto Legal Dept: Scammers Impersonating Brand to Send Fake 'Airbag Recall' Texts

On November 5, 2026, Li Auto's Legal Department issued a statement saying that some car owners had recently received scam text messages sent by criminals under the guise of "Li Auto." The messages claimed that the vehicles were involved in an "airbag recall" and asked owners to complete the relevant procedures through the website link attached to the message within 2 hours, while urging them to act with claims such as "warranty service will be canceled if overdue." Li Auto stated that there is no "airbag recall" matter as described in the text messages, and that the so-called "recall matter" is entirely fabricated; the text messages are not official notices from Li Auto, and the website link attached to the messages is not Li Auto's official website. Li Auto's Legal Department advised car owners not to click the link and not to fill in personal information, vehicle information, or verification codes on the relevant pages; if they have already clicked the link or provided information, they should promptly take security measures; if they suffer financial losses, they should keep the text messages and related records and report to the police. Regarding acts of impersonating Li Auto's name, Li Auto said it will reserve the right to pursue legal liability against the relevant parties and provided the contact email legal@lixiang.com to receive related clues and evidence.
