Tesla recalls nearly 3 million cars in China over door handles

China's biggest car recall affects more than 4 million vehicles, with 2.98 million Chinese-made Teslas included due to safety concerns. It is difficult to locate and operate the hidden door handles during emergencies, particularly if the low-voltage system malfunctions following an accident. Tesla plans to incorporate warning labels and release a software update that will automatically lower windows subsequent to a collision.
