October 17, 2025 – Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD has announced its largest recall in company history, affecting more than 115,000 vehicles due to battery and component issues that could pose safety risks.

The recall covers two main models:

• BYD Tang Series (produced March 2015 – July 2017), totaling 44,535 units, identified with design defects in certain components that could cause system malfunctions.
• BYD Yuan Pro (EV) (produced February 2021 – August 2022), totaling 71,248 units, affected by battery installation issues during production that may compromise safety.

BYD has faced recalls previously, including:
