Nearly three million Tesla vehicles have been recalled in China as part of action linked to hidden door handles, with several Chinese carmakers also affected.

The recall involves Tesla vehicles in the Chinese market and centres on hidden door handles. The available material does not specify which Tesla models are included, the precise number of vehicles beyond “nearly three million”, or the remedy expected for affected owners.

Other brands named as affected by the recall include XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely, all Chinese carmakers. No further detail has been provided in the supplied information on how many vehicles from those manufacturers are included or whether the issue is identical across each brand.

The recall is significant because of the scale of Tesla vehicles involved in China and because it extends beyond one manufacturer to include major domestic names. However, the supplied material does not give details of any incidents, injuries, regulatory statements, repair timetable or company responses.

The latest known position is that the recall affects nearly three million Teslas in China and also includes XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely among the brands affected. Further information would be needed to establish the full scope, cause and required action for vehicle owners.
