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.
Whether you drive a BYD Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, or any other BYD model, checking for recalls is essential for vehicle safety. Our free BYD recall check by VIN queries multiple databases to find any open recalls.

Go to BYD VIN Decoder →BYD (Build Your Dreams) is one of the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturers, producing millions of vehicles annually. As with any mass-market automaker, BYD issues periodic recall campaigns to address safety concerns. Here's everything you need to know about BYD recalls.
Official safety-related recalls issued by government regulators. These include issues like drive motor defects, battery sealing problems, or steering system faults. In China, these are filed with SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation).
Some BYD recalls only apply to specific markets. A recall in China (SAMR) may NOT apply to UK or Australian vehicles. Always check if your vehicle's VIN falls within the affected range for YOUR market.
BYD EVs may have recalls related to battery systems, drive motors, charging systems, or high-voltage components. These are specific to electric vehicles and differ from traditional automotive recalls.
Some BYD recalls address manufacturing defects found during quality control. These may affect specific production batches or date ranges — easily identified by your VIN.
| Year | Market | Models Affected | Issue Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | China (SAMR) | Tang, Yuan Pro | Drive motor, battery sealing |
| 2024 | UK (DVSA) | Enviro200EV, Enviro400EV | High-voltage charging system |
| 2022 | Australia | Atto 3 | Child restraint mounting |
Many BYD recalls are China-specific and do NOT apply to vehicles sold in the UK, Australia, or other markets. For example: the October 2025 Tang and Yuan Pro recall (115k+ vehicles) was filed in China only. Always use our BYD recall check by VIN to verify if YOUR specific vehicle is affected — not just the model generally.
Different BYD models have had different recall campaigns. Click on a model below to check if your specific VIN is affected. Note: Many recalls below were China-only and did NOT apply to UK or Australian vehicles.

Check Tang VIN →Important: A model name appearing in a recall notice doesn't automatically mean YOUR specific vehicle is affected. Recalls are issued for specific VIN ranges and production dates. Always use our BYD recall check by VIN to verify your exact vehicle.
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.
It's important to distinguish between official recalls (government-filed safety campaigns) and owner-reported issues (common problems discussed in forums and reviews). This section covers both.
There have been isolated reports of BYD vehicle fires in China. Official recall campaigns have addressed specific fire-related defects (like battery sealing issues in the Yuan Pro). However, BYD vehicles generally have strong safety ratings. Always verify your specific VIN against official recall databases.
Some BYD owners have reported battery-related issues including degradation faster than expected, charging speed limitations in cold weather, and occasional BMS (Battery Management System) errors. These are typically not recall-related unless covered by a specific campaign.
The October 2025 BYD Tang recall addressed a drive motor controller defect that could cause "abnormal active discharge" — potentially affecting EV drive mode. This recall was filed with SAMR in China only and covered vehicles from March 2015 to July 2017.
Some BYD Seal owners have reported driveshaft shudder or vibration at certain speeds. This has not been confirmed as a recall campaign. Check your VIN to verify if your vehicle is affected by any official campaigns.
Some BYD Atto 3 owners have reported sudden braking events triggered by the ADAS system. This has not been an official recall in international markets. Check if your vehicle has any open campaigns using our recall checker.
Occasional DiLink infotainment system freezing or rebooting has been reported. Software updates through BYD dealers typically address this. Not a safety recall.
Official recalls are filed with government regulators (SAMR, DVSA, DITRDCA) and entitle you to a free repair. Owner-reported problems are common issues discussed in forums but are NOT recalls. Our tool checks official recall databases only — enter your VIN to see if any official campaigns affect your vehicle.
