BYD has initiated a recall for its Great Tang SUV in China due to an assembly error. The company confirmed that wheels were incorrectly installed, with rear rims placed on the front and vice versa. BYD attributed the mistake to a coding issue at the factory.
The manufacturer stated that the error did not compromise vehicle safety or handling based on internal tests. To address the problem, the company has implemented additional visual inspections on its production lines and corrected the software coding.
Affected owners will receive wheel replacements from the company. Furthermore, BYD announced that warranty periods for these vehicles will be restarted effective 11 November 2026.
The Great Tang is a flagship model in the Dynasty lineup, with a price point of approximately $37 000. Before the official launch, the vehicle secured over 100 000 reservations, and the company has already delivered 14 000 units.
