BYD DOLPHIN: Persistent vibration while driving or uneven tyre wear
Symptoms
- Persistent vibration occurs at high speed, or abnormal tyre wear is found. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual requires tyre checks for persistent high-speed vibration and alignment checks for uneven wear; the speed figures on this page have a formatting error, so no value is quoted. [1]
Checks
- Check tyre damage, pressures and wheel balance/alignment; have a qualified technician address the issue. [1]
What to do
- Restore wheel balance or alignment according to the test results; do not invent a vibration speed threshold for this model. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the corresponding DOLPHIN configuration in the New Zealand English-language owner's manual; the manual date is not treated as an applicable model year. No actual vehicle model has been linked. Do not extend to vehicles with the same model name, other powertrains or other markets. Scope: unknown [1]
- Only applies to the specific configuration in the cited manual; do not assume applicability to all vehicles with the same model name.
