2022 BYD Atto 3: centre rear and front passenger seats not to be used with child seat; front passenger airbag switch

In December 2022, recall campaign A11.22 was issued for 2022 BYD Atto 3 SC2E-2 (XTD) and SC2E-4 (STD) variants. In these vehicles, the centre rear child restraint anchorage and front passenger were not to be used with a child seat until BYD had carried out a minor modification so that the vehicle would conform with Australian Design Rules (ADRs). Furthermore, the front passenger airbag switch could be unintentionally disengaged via a switch in the front passenger side of the vehicle. If the switch was set to the ‘off’ position, the front passenger airbag would not deploy in teh event of a collision – this condition increased the risk of injury to the occupant. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005579.
