Tesla and others begin record vehicle recall in China
China has said it will ban concealed door handles from 2027, making it the first country to phase out a design popularised by Tesla and widely adopted by domestic Chinese EV makers.
China will ban concealed door handles starting in 2027, making it the first country to phase out a design popularized by Tesla and widely adopted by other domestic EV manufacturers. Tesla and eight other automakers announced on Friday (Aug 21) they will recall about 4.3 million vehicles in China due to concerns that doors may be hard to open in emergency situations, marking the largest automotive recall in the country's history.
The recall remedies include software updates, warning labels, and improved markings around door handles. China has recently increased oversight of the EV industry and introduced stricter safety requirements as automakers roll out technologies in the world's largest vehicle market.
