It can be recalled that the BYD Shark 6 DMO made its official debut locally in March 2025.
The brand’s local service campaign follows a similar warning from its counterpart in New Zealand concerning the installation and fastening of the spare wheel assembly.

If the cable deteriorates, the spare wheel could detach from the vehicle while it is in use.
BYD New Zealand warned that a detached spare wheel could pose a hazard to other road users and potentially cause serious injury or death.
