Tesla is recalling nearly 3 million vehicles in China due to issues with its retractable door handles, which can be difficult to operate in emergencies. This recall, the largest in China's EV market history, also affects other automakers like Xiaomi. Regulators are concerned that these handles may not function if a vehicle's electrical system fails, as highlighted by a fatal incident involving a Xiaomi car. In response, Tesla will install warning labels and implement software updates to automatically lower windows after a crash, while China plans to ban retractable door handles entirely by 2027. AI
