China Orders Tesla's Largest-Ever Recall For Nearly 3 Million Cars

Chinese regulators ordered Tesla to recall nearly 3 million vehicles, the largest-ever recall campaign in China and Tesla’s biggest action to date in any market. The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said Tesla will fix 973,156 China-made and imported Model 3 units built between March 4, 2019 and April 29, 2026, plus 1.96 million China-made Model Y cars built between Nov. 16, 2020 and April 30, 2026, and more than 35,000 imported Model 3s, 8,000 Model X and 2,000 Model S vehicles. The issue involves emergency mechanical door releases that may be hard to identify after a crash or power failure. SAMR also ordered a separate recall of 2.74 million Model 3 and Model Y cars for driver-monitoring system failures, which Tesla will remedy via an over-the-air update.
