Nearly three million Tesla vehicles are being recalled in China over hidden door handles, according to reports published on 24 August 2026. Vehicles associated with Chinese carmakers XPeng, Xiaomi and Geely are also affected by the recall.
The supplied reporting does not state which Tesla models or production years are covered, nor does it provide a precise number of affected vehicles beyond saying the total is nearly three million. It also does not give separate figures for XPeng, Xiaomi or Geely.
Further technical details about the door handles have not been provided in the available evidence. It remains unclear what fault prompted the action, whether the handles require repair or replacement, or how and when vehicle owners will be contacted.
The reports also do not identify the authority that ordered or announced the recall, or say whether the action applies only to vehicles sold in China. No company responses, implementation timetable or information about incidents connected to the handles was included in the supplied material.
