Tesla’s facing a massive recall in China covering over 2.9 million Model 3 and Y vehicles built between 2019 and 2026 — the culprit? Flush door handles that can trap occupants after crashes. The company’s rolling out a software update to auto-lower windows during collisions and adding emergency mechanical handle stickers to help rescuers find them. This isn’t new — families of crash victims have sued, citing the design as deadly when the car’s battery dies. China is cracking down hard on such tech, banning retractable handles entirely and recalling over a million vehicles from eight Chinese brands for similar issues. Plus, nearly 50,000 imported Teslas (Model 3, X, S) are being recalled for faulty assisted steering systems that fail to monitor drivers properly — some get software fixes, others need new cameras.
