Tesla recalls nearly 3 million vehicles in China over door handles

China's market regulator announced on August 21 a nationwide recall covering more than 4 million vehicles from Tesla and at least eight other automakers over electrically controlled door handles that can fail to release in a crash, hindering escape and rescue efforts. Tesla's share covers 2.98 million imported and China-made Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles; the remedy includes warning labels and a software update that automatically lowers windows after a collision, with the recall set to begin September 25.
