BYD Coach & Bus: Service Brakes, Air › Disc › Caliper
BYD Coach & Bus reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 7, 2018 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 14. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
BYD Coach & Bus (BYD) is recalling certain 2016-2017 K11M hybrid electric transit buses, equipped with ZF Axles that have radial air disk brakes. Surface roughness of a guide pin in the radial brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break.
The risk
Breakage of the guide pin can cause a loss of braking ability or a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
BYD will notify owners, and dealers will install a bushing kit and reinstall the brake calipers, free of charge. The recall began October 11, 2018. Owners may contact BYD customer service at 1-661-940-3250.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 18V521000.
