Tesla is recalling nearly three million cars in China with interior door handles that could hamper a person's ability to exit their vehicle in 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 Aug. 21.
Some recalls were effective immediately, while others began over the weekend and on Aug. 24.
