What is wrong
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 fix
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-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-[removed] (TTY 1-[removed]), or go to [link removed]
