2015–2016 Byd K7 M recall: windows, wipers & mirrors

⚠️ What's wrong

BYD Coach & Bus (BYD) is recalling certain 2015-2016 K7 M buses. The affected vehicles have wiper arms that can crack where they mount to the wiper motor causing the wiper arms to bend or detach from the vehicle.

💥 The risk

A loss of wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

BYD has notified the owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the windshield wiper mounts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2017. Owners may contact BYD customer service at 1-661-940-3250.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
