  "account": "Chinese electric-vehicle manufacturer BYD has disclosed that certain Tang SUV models were equipped with improper wheel rims due to a supplier's data-entry mistake, though the company asserts this issue poses no safety concerns. Following customer reports, BYD conducted an investigation and discovered the error originated from a coding mistake made by the wheel-rim supplier. The automaker promptly corrected the coding and implemented measures to avoid such assembly errors in future productions. Additionally, the supplier incorporated visual inspections into their manufacturing process. BYD clarified that the problem does not affect vehicle handling or pose any safety risks. Affected Tang SUV owners will be invited to service centers for complimentary inspections and professional wheel-rim adjustments.",
