BYD has recalled over 96,000 Atto 3 and Dolphin in China due to fire risk caused by manufacturing defects within their power steering system. It is unclear at the moment if the recall affects units sold in Malaysia.
The recall was due to an issue with the column-assist electric power steering controller in the affected vehicles. According toon China’s State Administration for Market Regulation website, manufacturing defects have resulted in microcracks on the capacitors inside the controller.These microcracks may expand and short the controller’s circuits which ultimately may lead to overheating or even fire.
The notice on the SAMR website also said that there are two different batches of vehicles involved in the recall. The first group involved the 87,762 Dolphin and Yuan Plus that BYD Automobile Industry Co., Ltd, manufactured from 4 February to 26 December 2023 while the other batch were 8,952 Yuan Plus manufactured by BYD Automobile Co., Ltd from 2 November 2022 to 19 June 2023.In Malaysia, the Yuan Plus is called Atto 3 and together with Dolphin, they are among the most popular EVs in Malaysia.
