SIME Darby Motors (SDM) reassures its customers that the recent recall of BYD models do not affect the ones in Malaysia.

The company in a statement said that the recall was only limited to models in the China market.

This is in response to the announcement that BYD Auto Industry Co., Ltd. and BYD Automobile Co., Ltd. are recalling certain domestically produced Dolphin and Yuan Plus electric vehicles.

"As the official distributor of BYD vehicles in Malaysia, SDM would like to reassure our valued customers that the BYD models sold in Malaysia are not affected by the recent recall announcement by BYD in China as it is limited exclusively to vehicles sold in the China market.

"The batches and models recalled within the China mainland region do not pertain to markets outside of the China mainland region," SDM's statement added.
