Tesla and eight other car makers will recall about 4.3 million cars in China. They worry that doors may be hard to open in an emergency. This is the largest car recall in the country. The fix is simple. Companies will add warning labels near the door handles for free. Many will also send software updates to cars from far away.
Tesla has the biggest part of the recall, with 2.98 million cars from September 25. Xiaomi will recall about 390,000 cars, and Xpeng about 264,000. Tesla will also send an update that lowers the car windows after a crash. China plans to stop hidden door handles from 2027.
