Tesla and other automakers begin record vehicle recall in China

BEIJING – Tesla and eight other automakers said on Friday they will recall about 4.3 million vehicles in China over concerns that doors may be difficult to open in an emergency, marking the country’s largest automotive recall. The recall remedies range from software updates to warning labels and improved markings around door handles. Beijing has this year increased oversight of the electric vehicle industry and introduced tougher safety requirements, as automakers, locked in a fierce price war, roll out technologies in the world’s largest vehicle market.
