🚨 China’s Largest-Ever Auto Recall - 7 Million Vehicles Affected!
China just announced the biggest recall in its auto industry history, over 7 million cars are being called back. 📉
🔍 The Safety Issue:
The problem: interior emergency door releases are too hard to spot as they match the trim colour. In a serious crash that knocks out the electrics, passengers could be trapped because the mechanical release is hidden. ⚠️
📊 Who’s Impacted:
• Tesla: ~2.97 million vehicles (Model 3/Y/S/X) 🚗
• Xiaomi: 390,435 SU7 series 🚗
• Leapmotor: 371,200 🚗
• Xpeng: 264,842 🚗
• Also: Zeekr, Chery, Geely, Arcfox
🛠️ How They’ll Fix It:
Free warning labels, OTA software updates to roll down windows after a crash, and replacing release covers with clearer, labelled versions.
This comes from new mandatory standard GB 48001–2026, requiring proper mechanical door releases for emergencies.
