Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd. is recalling 19,481 domestically produced EQA and EQB electric vehicles manufactured between April 2021 and March 2024. Starting June 25, 2026, the recall addresses potential internal short circuits caused by production fluctuations in high-voltage batteries and software-related overloads. These defects in the Battery Management System (BMS) increase the risk of vehicle fires, posing significant safety hazards. The move aligns with China's defective product regulations to ensure battery reliability and passenger safety.
