Chinese regulators have mandated Tesla to recall about 2.98 million vehicles, the largest recall ever for Tesla and in China, due to issues with emergency door releases that may be hard to find after crashes or power failures. Additionally, 2.74 million Model 3 and Model Y cars in China face a recall for a driver-monitoring system defect that fails to alert drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Tesla will fix the door release issue by installing warning labels and address the driver-monitoring defect through an over-the-air software update. This recall highlights ongoing regulatory challenges for Tesla amid safety concerns and investigations into other vehicle issues globally.
