Summary
The background to the drastic measure is, according to the Chinese market regulator, the mechanical emergency release handles in several Tesla models. China is the world’s largest car market. In one case, the driver even died because the door could not be opened.
Furthermore, There were several cases in China where electric cars caught fire and helpers reported that they could not open the doors to free occupants. The second recall concerns a driver monitoring issue. E-car producer Tesla, founded by tech billionaire Elon Musk, has made the technology of retractable door handles that are retracted and extended electrically known worldwide.
In addition, Tesla therefore wants to use the interior camera for monitoring the person at the wheel. For Tesla, the country is also a central production location. However, according to the Chinese authorities, these are not always clearly marked enough.
