Tesla Recalls Millions of Model 3 and Model Y Vehicles in China
Tesla has announced two major recalls involving its vehicles in China. The company is recalling approximately 3 million vehicles over an issue with mechanically opening the doors in an emergency, and separately recalling more than 2.7 million vehicles due to a defect in the driver monitoring system. According to China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), the first recall covers a total of 2,975,910 Tesla vehicles.
Tesla vehicles' exterior door handles sit flush with the body, while the doors are generally opened from inside using a button. The vehicles also have a separate mechanical release for opening the door if the electronic system fails. According to the Chinese regulator, the color of this mechanism is too similar to the vehicle's interior trim. As a result, passengers may have difficulty locating and using the mechanical door release during a crash or other emergency. The issue has prompted the recall of 973,156 Model 3 and 1,956,713 Model Y vehicles manufactured in China. In addition, 35,590 imported Model 3, 8,328 Model X, and 2,123 Model S vehicles are included in the recall. Other automakers, including Xiaomi, Xpeng, and Geely, have also recalled certain models in China over similar issues.
