BYD Seal Battery Recall Announced in India for Blade Battery Check

On January 23, BYD Seal battery recall was initiated in India as BYD India issued a voluntary recall to replace the high-voltage battery of the Seal electric sedan. While the company has not disclosed the total number of affected vehicles, all BYD Seal owners have been asked to get their cars inspected by authorised service technicians.
The recall is currently limited only to the BYD Seal and applies across all variants and battery configurations sold in the country. According to service centre technicians, the action has been taken as a precautionary measure linked to a possible issue within the Blade Battery system.
BYD Seal Battery Recall Scope and Diagnosis Process
The concern relates to individual cells within the battery pack, which may trigger faults during diagnostic scans. As a result, BYD India is offering a complete battery pack replacement at no cost to customers if an issue is detected.
The inspection and replacement process includes:

• Mandatory appointment booking at an authorised service centre

• OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) scan of the Blade Battery system

• Full battery pack replacement if cell-level irregularities are identified

Customers are advised to schedule visits on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, to ensure faster processing.
Service Support and Replacement Timeline
For owners unable to drive their vehicles to the service facility, BYD India will arrange authorised personnel to collect the car and transport it to the designated service centre. A service representative confirmed that vehicles undergoing battery replacement are expected to be returned to customers on the same day.
This recall does not impact any other BYD models currently on sale in India and remains exclusive to the Seal electric sedan.
