Recall data is sourced from China's SAMR database, Australian DITRDCA, and UK DVSA. Recall status is updated periodically. The most accurate and current recall status is determined by entering your specific VIN above. Not all recalls apply to all markets.
When BYD issues a recall, affected vehicle owners are entitled to a free repair at any authorized BYD service center. The process typically works as follows:
BYD sends a notification letter to registered vehicle owners. In China, this is coordinated through SAMR. In export markets, through local transport authorities.
Contact your nearest authorized BYD dealer and provide your VIN number. They will confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
The recall repair is performed at no cost. This may include parts replacement, software update, or inspection depending on the recall.
After repair, you receive documentation confirming the recall was addressed. This is important for resale value and vehicle history.
A completed recall repair typically does not negatively affect resale value. In fact, having documented proof that a recall was addressed can be a positive selling point. An open (unrepaired) recall may affect resale value and should be disclosed to buyers.
Enter your VIN using the check above. If a recall appears as "closed" or "repaired", the previous owner completed it. If it shows as "open", the repair has not been performed and you should contact a BYD dealer.
Recalls are typically issued per market. A recall in China (SAMR) may not automatically apply to vehicles exported to other countries, and vice versa. Our tool checks both the Chinese SAMR database and international recall databases where data is available.

The most recent BYD recalls include: October 2025 - BYD Tang (44,535 vehicles) and BYD Yuan Pro (71,248 vehicles) for drive motor and battery sealing issues (China SAMR only). September 2024 - BYD/Alexander Dennis Enviro200EV and Enviro400EV buses in the UK for high-voltage charging system issues.
BYD has issued recalls related to battery sealing that could pose fire risks, specifically the October 2025 Yuan Pro recall addressing water ingress during high-speed wading. Isolated fire incidents have been reported in China but are not part of a widespread recall. Always check your specific VIN for any open campaigns.
Yes. The only confirmed BYD Atto 3 recall in Australia was in December 2022 for 703 vehicles (2022 model year) - a rear centre seat child restraint mounting and front passenger airbag switch issue. Other BYD Atto 3 recalls in China did NOT apply to Australian vehicles.
The October 2025 BYD Tang recall in China addressed a drive motor controller defect that could cause 'abnormal active discharge' - potentially affecting steering and drive systems. This recall was filed with SAMR in China only and covered vehicles from March 2015 to July 2017. It did NOT apply to UK or Australian vehicles.
