Tesla<\/a> announced Friday that it is recalling nearly 3 million vehicles in China over concerns that doors may be difficult to open in an emergency, marking the largest automotive recall in the country’s history.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s action comes alongside recalls announced by eight other automakers, affecting a combined total of about 4.3 million vehicles in China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s recall is the largest, affecting approximately 2.98 million vehicles.<\/p>\n

The U.S. automaker said the recall<\/a> covers imported and China-made Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles, according to notices filed with China’s State Administration for Market Regulation.<\/p>\n

According to one of the recall notices, Tesla’s electronically operated, retractable door handles could become difficult to operate after a severe collision if the vehicle’s low-voltage system fails.<\/p>\n

The company said the resulting problem “could hinder occupants from quickly opening the doors to escape and impede rescue efforts by those outside the vehicle, posing a safety hazard.”<\/p>\n

To address the issue, Tesla said it would “affix warning labels” to affected vehicles and remotely upgrade its window-control software so the windows automatically lower following an accident.<\/p>\n

Tesla also issued a recall addressing problems with driver-monitoring systems in certain vehicles, which are designed to help ensure drivers remain alert and ready to take control of steering or braking when necessary.<\/p>\n

Tesla said it will contact owners of vehicles that cannot receive the fixes through remote software updates to schedule service appointments.<\/p>\n

Other automakers<\/a> announcing recalls included Xiaomi, Leapmotor, Xpeng and Geely Holding.<\/p>\n

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that the automakers have not disclosed plans to issue similar recalls in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes after Tesla issued two recalls in May.<\/p>\n

The automaker recalled roughly 175 Cybertrucks over concerns that wheel studs could separate, potentially causing wheels to detach.<\/p>\n

Tesla also recalled more than 218,000 Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles because of delayed rearview camera images that could increase the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n
