Tesla is recalling nearly 3 million vehicles in China over safety concerns related to their door handles, according to Chinese authorities. The safety risks primarily involve the door handles on Tesla's Model 3, Model Y, Model X and Model S electric vehicles. The recall, the largest of the year, comes after Chinese regulators announced in February that they would ban hidden or flush car door handles starting next year, following EV accidents in the country.
Tesla will perform software updates on the affected vehicles to mitigate the risks. Other Chinese carmakers, including Xiaomi and Leapmotor, are also recalling thousands of vehicles due to similar door handle safety issues.
