China Triggers 4.3 Million Vehicle Recalls Over Electric Door Handles
Chinese regulators order nine automakers, including Tesla, to recall 4.3 million vehicles — about 3 million Teslas — to fix retractable electric door handles that may fail if the 12-volt system is disrupted and to install interior warnings plus a software update that lowers windows in a crash; a separate recall for 2.74 million Teslas will update the driver-monitoring software after reports of defeating the system with a doll’s head in front of the cabin camera, using the interior camera to better track driver attention, highlighting China’s push to raise EV safety standards.
