GM’s recall of nearly 600,000 L87 6.2L V8 engines included thicker oil and other fixes, but hundreds of engines have failed after the repair, prompting a NHTSA Engineering Analysis that now covers almost 1 million engines through 2026. Reports show 499 post-recall failures (473 after thicker oil, 26 replacement engines) and 6,953 post-recall GM reports, raising questions about the fix’s effectiveness as GM moves to a 6.6L engine for 2027 models.
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.

Tesla is recalling about 2.98 million vehicles in China over door-handle safety concerns that could hinder egress in a crash. The fix combines an over-the-air software patch that automatically lowers all passenger windows after a crash with high-visibility warning stickers showing the location of the mechanical emergency release. The recall covers domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y (2019–2026) and imported Model 3, Model X, and Model S across various production dates. A separate recall affects over 2.74 million domestically produced Model 3/Model Y vehicles (2019–2025) to enable cabin-camera tracking with Autosteer. Regulators are tightening door-safety standards worldwide, and Tesla is pursuing long-term door-handle redesigns for future models.

Tesla is recalling about 2.98 million vehicles in China—the largest auto recall in the country—due to electronically operated, retractable door handles that could become hard to operate after a severe crash, potentially hindering occupant escape; the company will add warning labels and remotely upgrade window-control software so windows lower after an accident, and it is also addressing driver-monitoring system issues with a software update and in-cabin camera monitoring. The recall comes as eight other automakers issue recalls totaling roughly 4.3 million vehicles in China, and U.S. regulators say there are no similar recalls planned in the United States.

The FDA upgraded the recall of GreenWise frozen organic blueberries and mixed berries to Class I high risk due to a reasonable probability of serious harm or death from potential E. coli contamination, a escalation after earlier store withdrawals; the berries were distributed to at least eight states, with an import alert and broader risk assessment that widened the recall beyond a typical alert.
China has ordered Tesla to recall about 2.9 million Model 3s and Model Ys built in China (2019–2026) to address retractable door handles, with most fixes delivered via over‑the‑air software updates that lower windows after a crash and new in‑cab warning stickers to help locate and operate emergency door handles; some vehicles will also require camera-related updates. The move is part of a broader Chinese safety push on door-handle design and driver-assistance tech, with separate recalls for imported Teslas and ongoing US regulatory scrutiny of door-handle design.
