The Chinese automaker is recalling Dolphin and Yuan Plus EVs manufactured in China between November 2022 and December 2023, according to a statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR).
BYD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company would ask its dealers to install a physical fix in the recalled cars, the SAMR statement added.
It did not elaborate if any of the affected EVs were exported.
Dolphin and Yuan Plus were BYD's two top-selling models in 2023, which in total accounted for 26% of its 3 million cars sold in the year, according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
The recall is a rare one by BYD of its pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars as the Chinese company grew rapidly to become the world's biggest seller of such vehicles.
It recalled a small batch of Tang plug-in hybrids in 2022 due to a defect in the battery pack that could cause fires.
