Byd B11e02: Steering Box Mating Surfaces Contaminated With Anti-corrosion Paint

Recall Summary BYD is recalling 494 BYD B11E02 and B12E04 vehicles because anti-corrosion paint contaminated the steering box mounting surfaces during manufacturing, preventing proper metal-to-metal contact. This contamination can cause the steering box to loosen over time and potentially affect steering control. The remedy involves removing the anti-corrosion paint from the mating surfaces.

Product
Vehicles: BYD B11E02, BYD B12E04. Units affected: 494
Reason
