China's BYD recalls 88,981 plug-in hybrids over battery safety hazard


BEIJING: BYD will immediately recall 88,981 plug-in hybrids over a potential battery-related safety hazard, China's market regulator said in a notice on Friday (Nov 28), weeks after the electric vehicle maker's largest recall to date.

The Qin PLUS DM-i models affected were produced between January 2021 and September 2023 and "may have limited power output due to problems with the consistency of power battery packs during the production process", the notice said.
