Why China Is Recalling 4.3 Million Cars Over Their Door Handles

China is recalling about 4.3 million vehicles because hidden electronic door handles may be difficult to use after a crash or power failure.


China is recalling about 4.3 million cars. Tesla and other car companies are part of the recall.

The problem is with some hidden electronic door handles. They look clean and modern. But if a car loses power after a crash, people may have trouble opening the doors.

This can be dangerous. People inside may need to escape quickly. Rescue workers outside may also need to open the doors.

China will require new cars to have a mechanical way to open the doors from 2027. The story asks an important question: Should a car look good if the design makes it less safe?
