BYD SHARK 6 spare-wheel lifter recall: why replacing only the cable may miss the cause
Australia’s SHARK 6 recall links spare-wheel support cable wear to carrier or lifter positioning. Check the official VIN list before defining parts.
If a SHARK 6 service reveals wear marks on the underbody spare-wheel support cable, do not immediately look only for a new cable. The Australian recall concerns carrier or lifter positioning. Understanding the source of wear helps establish the inspection and parts scope.
Recall coverage follows the official individual VIN list
The market is Australia only. The notice lists 2024—2026 BYD SHARK 6. REC-006728 / APRA2609H0001S was originally published on Sep 21, 2026.
VIN coverage is limited to vehicles listed in the [complete official REC-006728 VIN list][VIN]. The notice covers 32,009 vehicles. Matching the model year alone does not establish inclusion.[Recall notice][S08]
Cable wear may relate to installation position
The notice describes a spare-wheel carrier or lifter that may be incorrectly positioned, causing support cable wear and breakage. This may allow the spare wheel to detach while driving.[Defect description][S08]
In this sequence, cable damage needs attention, but the installation position also requires repairer verification. Replacing the cable without identifying the source of wear does not establish resolution. A request saying only “spare-wheel wire rope” can miss its relationship with the carrier and lifter.

A part name does not establish a mandatory replacement list
The notice directs affected owners to contact a BYD dealer for attention. It does not publish complete adjustment dimensions or a parts replacement list.[Official handling channel][S08] Do not promise cable-only replacement or assume that the carrier and lifter must both be renewed.
Have the authorised repairer confirm actual condition and the current remedy, then identify required components. After receiving a recall notification, do not skip attention because the spare wheel remains attached or makes no noise. This action concerns support-system failure risk in use.
Verification and parts enquiries
This article covers only the Australian action above. No public data was available for OE numbers, complete modification scope or installation adjustment values. [To be verified] Verify selection and interchangeability using the VIN and local manufacturer parts catalogue. Contact the authorised representative promptly if retention is abnormal; do not inspect or repair beneath the suspended spare wheel yourself.
For ordinary spare-wheel retention-system requirements, use the parts enquiry page. Recall work belongs with official channels.
