Tesla hits China with sweeping recall over door-handle safety risk
China’s regulator says Tesla must recall about 2.98 million vehicles (Model 3, Model Y, Model X, Model S) in China due to door-handle safety risks, with software updates to mitigate the issue. The recall is among the largest in China this year and comes as authorities push for safer, non-hidden door handles ahead of a 2027 ban, while other Chinese automakers like Xiaomi and Leapmotor also recall hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
