Byd K9ur: Steering Wheel May Be Adjusted Whilst Driving
BYD is recalling 195 K9UR, K8UR, and D9UR vehicles in the United Kingdom because the steering wheel can be adjusted while driving, which could make the vehicle difficult to control. The company will install an interlock device that prevents steering wheel adjustment unless the handbrake is applied.
