The generalized perturbative reduction method is used to find the two-component vector breather solution of the Born-Infeld equation $ U_{tt} -C U_{zz} = - A U_{t}^{2} U_{zz} - sigma U_{z}^{ 2} U_{tt} + B U_{z} U_{t} U_{zt} $. It is shown that the solution of the two-component nonlinear wave oscillates with the sum and difference of frequencies and wave numbers.
