Defect
BYD is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall on all affected vehicles. The rear centre seat child restraint anchorage and front passenger seat as a safety precaution should not be used with a child seat until we have carried out a minor modification. The modifications will be carried out in accordance with Australian Design Rules. Additionally, the front passenger airbag switch may be unintentionally disengaged via a switch in the front passenger side of the vehicle. If the switch is set to the off position the passenger front airbag will not deploy in the event of a collision.
