Nearly 3M Teslas recalled in China over hidden door handles

China's largest-ever car recall targets over 4 million vehicles, including 2.98 million Teslas, due to safety concerns about minimalist hidden door handles that are hard to find and open in emergencies. The recall follows fatal crashes involving Xiaomi EVs where power failures may have trapped occupants. Tesla will add warning labels and update software to lower windows after collisions. Other brands like XPeng, Xiaomi, and Geely are also affected. New Chinese regulations banning such handles take effect in 2027.
