China recalls nearly 3 million Teslas and other models over hidden door handles

A broad recall announced this week has impacted several Chinese automobile manufacturers, adding XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely to the list of brands required to address the issue. The recall, which was issued by the national safety regulator, targets a specific component that has been identified as potentially non‑compliant with current safety standards across multiple vehicle models.

Affected owners of XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely vehicles are being instructed to bring their cars to authorized service centers for inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the faulty part. The manufacturers have pledged to cooperate fully with regulators to complete the remediation promptly, and they have set up dedicated hotlines to field consumer inquiries. The recall underscores ongoing scrutiny of automotive safety compliance in the rapidly expanding Chinese car market.
