BYD Atto 3 problems (2022–today)

The Atto 3 is a young model in Europe (since late 2022) and the only well-documented issue outside the drivetrain is the adaptive cruise control of the first units, which Euro NCAP rated ‘not recommended’ and which BYD corrected with a software update. The 2024 power steering recall took place in China, and none of the sources consulted confirms it for Europe.[1][2][3]
