BYD said a coding-entry error by rim sub-supplier Hubei Boyu Industrial Co.,
Ltd. caused incorrect rims to be fitted on some Datang vehicles. The company has
completed inspections, corrected the coding and implemented visual
error-proofing on the supplier's new production line. Special testing found no
effect on vehicle handling and no safety risk. BYD will invite affected owners
to local service centers for free inspection and professional rim replacement,
and will provide loaner vehicles or travel-cost compensation; warranty on
misassembled vehicles is being reset from today. BYD said it will conduct a full
review and continue supplier remediation.
