China’s market regulator said on Friday electric ​vehicle maker BYD will immediately recall more ‌than 180,000 cars to resolve a manufacturing defect affecting a brake pedal component.

The exercise covers 183,211 ​Qin and Tang series vehicles produced between ​2014 and 2022, as the defect in ⁠a batch of brake pedal stopper ​pads puts them at risk of cracking or ​detaching over time.

In extreme cases, this could cause brake lights to stay on even if the pedal ​is not pressed, potentially misleading other road ​users and creating a safety risk, the State Administration for ‌Market ⁠Regulation said.

In its regulatory filing, BYD said it would replace the affected component free of charge through authorised dealers.

Separately, Chinese EV ​maker Nio is ​recalling 686 ⁠Firefly-branded electric vehicles over a manufacturing defect in a steering system ​component, the market regulator said.

In extreme ​cases, ⁠the defect cause a loss of power steering assistance, it added. The company will inspect ⁠affected ​vehicles and replace the ​faulty wiring harness free of charge. — ***Reuters***
