Tesla is recalling nearly 3 million cars in China over interior door handles that could hinder a person's ability to exit the vehicle during an emergency, Beijing's national market watchdog said.
Eight Chinese carmakers also filed recalls over similar safety risks, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced on Friday.
Some recalls were effective immediately, while others began over the weekend and on Monday.
Tesla's recall involves 2.9 million domestically-made units of its Model 3 and Model Y electric cars and begins on Sept. 25.
The U.S. carmaker – which operates a huge factory in Shanghai – is also recalling around 46,000 imported units of its Model 3, Model X and Model S cars, the SAMR announcement said.
