China Orders Largest Car Recall Over Electric Vehicle Door Handle Safety

Chinese automotive regulators have mandated a major recall involving Tesla and eight other automakers to address door safety concerns. The issue centers on retractable door handles found on electric vehicles, which in some cases prevented occupants from exiting after crashes. The recall is the largest of its kind in China's automotive history. Authorities acted after reports emerged of people being trapped inside their vehicles following accidents due to the faulty handle mechanism.
