Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Nearly Three Million Teslas Recalled In China Over Door Handles
Caption: Nearly Three Million Teslas Recalled In China Over Door Handles. Nearly three million Chinese-made Teslas are being recalled over concerns that their hidden door handles could make it difficult for occupants or rescuers to open vehicles during emergencies. The Teslas are part of a wider recall affecting more than four million vehicles in China, including models made by XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely. Retractable handles, popularised by Tesla, sit flush with the vehicle's body but have faced growing scrutiny following fatal crashes involving electric vehicles in China. Tesla said some Model 3, Y, S and X vehicles have handles that can be difficult to identify and operate, particularly if electrical systems fail after a serious collision. The company will add warning labels to affected vehicles and release a software update designed to automatically lower the windows following a crash.
