¶ Issue
Squeaking or creaking noise from the vehicle body or seat when it is under load during operation. This issue has been reported on some early-production vehicles.
¶ Fault Video and Symptoms
¶ Example
¶ Typical Symptoms
- An intermittent or continuous squeaking or creaking noise occurs while driving, when the seat is loaded, or when the suspension moves.
- The noise may be concentrated around moving joints in the rear suspension or at the connection between the main arm and the seat quick-release mechanism.
- The vehicle can usually still be operated normally, but the noise may negatively affect the customer experience.
Safety Notice: If structural looseness, excessive play, abnormal handling, component deformation, or damage is also present, stop using the vehicle and contact after-sales service.
¶ Maintenance Procedure
¶ Applicable Conditions
- The vehicle only exhibits abnormal noise, with no structural damage, deformation, or obvious looseness.
- The lubrication points are directly accessible and do not require vehicle disassembly.
¶ Required Materials
- Preferably use grease or lubricant suitable for moving mechanical joints.
- A small amount of WD-40 may be applied for quick improvement; grease is recommended for long-term maintenance.
- A clean soft cloth or paper towel.
¶ Maintenance Locations
- Rear shock absorber swing-arm pivot.
- Accessible area inside the shock absorber sleeve.
- Tapered surface or connection between the main arm and the seat quick-release mechanism.
¶ Procedure
- Power off the vehicle, park it on a flat and stable surface, and make sure it is securely stationary.
- Gently press the seat or slightly rock the vehicle body to identify the approximate noise source. Do not forcefully move any component.
- Remove dust and debris from the target area.
- Apply a small amount of grease or lubricant to the connection points listed above, or lightly spray WD-40.
- Move the relevant mechanism gently several times so that the lubricant reaches the friction surfaces.

¶ Result Evaluation
- Noise eliminated or significantly reduced: The service is complete. Advise the customer to continue monitoring the vehicle.
- No improvement: Stop repeatedly applying lubricant and arrange further after-sales inspection.
- Safety-related abnormality identified: If looseness, abnormal play, structural damage, component deformation, or abnormal handling is found, stop customer self-service and escalate for professional repair.
