Record Recall: Tesla and Others Address Safety Risks in Nearly 3 Million Vehicles in China

In an unprecedented move, Chinese regulators have ordered a recall affecting nearly 3 million Tesla vehicles due to safety concerns surrounding door handles. This recall is part of a larger initiative involving multiple automakers, including Xiaomi and Geely, to address emergency door release issues that could potentially trap occupants. The recall focuses on the mechanical door handles, which were found to be difficult to locate in emergencies. Tesla plans to resolve the situation through software updates and other adjustments to enhance safety for drivers and passengers. This massive recall represents a significant step towards improving vehicle safety standards in China.
