BYD warns of scam using fake vehicle recall notices

TREE NEWS update: BYD’s anti-counterfeiting office warned that fraudsters are circulating forged “Vehicle Recall Notices” bearing the company’s name, sent via unsolicited calls, text messages, suspicious links and QR codes. The fake documents claim a batch defect in brake pedal limit pads and invoke the State Administration for Market Regulation, pressuring owners to respond within two hours or lose warranty coverage to push them toward phishing sites, bank card details, verification codes or transfers. Some owners have reported receiving the forged notices.
