In response to recent recall of BYD Tang vehicles and Yuan Pro, John Keells CG Auto Ltd., in a statement said yesterday that neither of the models have been sold in the Sri Lankan market.

Following is the full text of the statement.

BYD recently announced a recall involving approximately 115,000 BYD Tang vehicles and Yuan Pro as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest standards of safety and product quality. As a responsible manufacturer, BYD proactively initiates recalls whenever necessary to protect customers and maintain the integrity of its vehicles.

We wish to clarify that this recall applies only to specific BYD Tang vehicles manufactured between 28 March 2015 and 28 July 2017, and some Yuan Pro pure electric vehicles produced between 6 February 2021 and 5 August 2022, and are not applicable to Sri Lanka. The BYD Tang model and Yuan Pro model has not been introduced or sold in the Sri Lankan market, and therefore, no BYD vehicles currently operating in Sri Lanka are affected by this recall.

All BYD vehicles in Sri Lanka which are imported, distributed and serviced exclusively through John Keells CG Auto Ltd., BYD’s authorised distributor, are covered by comprehensive manufacturer warranties and supported by dedicated after-sales facilities with NEV-trained technicians to ensure the highest standards of service and care.
