🚗 Tesla Leads China’s Record EV Recall Over Door-Handle Safety.
Tesla is recalling approximately 2.98 million vehicles in China as part of the country’s largest-ever automotive recall, involving concerns that emergency door handles may be difficult to locate or operate after accidents or electrical failures. The recall covers imported and China-made Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles. ⚠️
The corrective measures primarily involve software updates and improved labeling to help occupants identify emergency-release mechanisms. The action comes as China strengthens vehicle safety requirements, including a planned 2027 ban on concealed door handles. For Tesla, the recall affects a large installed vehicle base in one of its most important international markets and adds another regulatory issue around vehicle safety and software-dependent systems. 🔧
