China’s Auto Recall Avalanche: 4.3 Million Cars Over Door-Handle Safety
TL;DR Summary
China is issuing the largest auto recall in its history, covering about 4.3 million vehicles from nine manufacturers—nearly 3 million of them Teslas—due to emergency-door handles that may be hard to operate in a crash. Many fixes will be delivered via OTA updates and warning labels, with some models needing hardware tweaks. Also affected are Xiaomi, Leapmotor, and Xpeng recalls totaling hundreds of thousands of cars. Separately, 50,000 imported Model 3/Model X/Model S vehicles are recalled for driver-monitoring issues, potentially requiring new cameras or software fixes.
