EV maker BYD recalls more than 180,000 cars in China over brake pedal risk
The exercise covers 183,211 Qin and Tang series vehicles produced between 2014 and 2022, as a defect in a batch of brake pedal stopper pads puts them at risk of cracking or detaching over time.
China's BYD electric vehicle manufacturer is recalling over 180,000 cars due to a defect in brake pedal components. The issue, discovered in stopper pads used in Qin and Tang series models produced between 2014 and 2022, could cause brake lights to remain illuminated even when the pedal isn't pressed. This poses a potential safety risk for other road users.
BYD pledged to replace the faulty part free of charge at authorized dealers. Meanwhile, Chinese competitor Nio is recalling 686 Firefly-branded vehicles due to a steering system component defect that can lead to power steering loss in extreme cases. Nio will inspect the affected vehicles and replace the defective wiring harness at no cost.
