On Friday, Chinese authorities publicly announced that Tesla and several domestic automakers are executing a massive recall due to safety hazardsthe crux of which lies in a design flaw in the door handleswith the total number of affected vehicles surpassing four million.

中国当局于本周五对外宣告特斯拉若干本土汽车制造商正因安全隐患——其核心症结在于门把手的设计缺陷——而实施大规模召回涉及车辆总数已突破四百万辆之巨。

According to a notification from China's State Administration for Market Regulation, the American automaker intends to recall approximately 2.98 million electric vehicles manufactured domestically and imported into China, encompassing models such as the Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and Model S, on account of safety hazards inherent in the design of their door handles.

According to Chinese media reports, this recall stands as the most extensive of its kind this year.

中国媒体报道此次召回堪称本年度规模最为浩大的一次

Earlier, in February, Chinese authorities had already announced that, effective next year, they would categorically prohibit the flush door handle design commonly employed in Tesla electric vehicles and numerous Chinese electric models.

此前中国当局已于二月份宣布自明年起将明令禁止特斯拉电动汽车众多中国电动车型中普遍采用的隐藏式门把手设计

In light of a succession of electric vehicle incidents both within China and abroad, wherein the electronic locking mechanisms fitted to flush-mounted (or recessed) door handles have malfunctioned, thereby entrapping occupants within the cabin, the Chinese authorities have of late considerably intensified their scrutiny of such components.

鉴于中国及他国境内接连发生的电动汽车事故中,隐藏式(或齐平式)门把手所配的电子锁止机构失效致使驾乘人员受困于车厢内,中国近期已大幅强化对此类部件审查力度

In a notice published on the official website of China's regulatory authority, the associated safety hazards were unequivocally brought to light.

The notice emphatically underscored that under extreme circumstancessuch as when the electrical system fails as a result of a severe collisionthe door handles could become an impediment to occupants swiftly opening the doors to effect their own escape, while simultaneously hindering external rescuers from gaining prompt access to the cabin to carry out rescue operations.

该通告着重指出在极端情形下——诸如因剧烈碰撞而导致电气系统失灵时——车门把手或将成为阻碍车内人员迅速开启车门以实施自救的障碍,同时亦可能妨碍车外救援人员顺利进入车厢展开营救行动

The notification further elucidates that Tesla will deploy a software update to mitigate the associated risks.

Xiaomi, the Beijing-headquartered Chinese technology behemoth, has announced the recall of upwards of 390,000 vehicles, whereas Leapmotor, based in Hangzhou, is recalling in excess of 370,000 units.

Furthermore, other Chinese automotive manufacturers, encompassing Geely and XPeng, are likewise effectuating recalls on select vehicles.

The causes disclosed across successive recalls have been remarkably uniform, with the overwhelming majority attributable to structural deficiencies in the door handle components.

According to a report published by the Communist Party of China's official organ, the People's Daily, this large-scale recall constitutes a "unified safety upgrade" for existing vehicle models, implemented in advance of the prohibition on concealed door handles slated to take effect in 2027.

The newspaper asserts: "For the burgeoning new-energy vehicle industry, competition should manifest not only in the velocity of technological innovation, but also in the stringency of the safety benchmarks it establishes."

该报指出:“对于蓬勃发展的新能源汽车产业而言,竞争不仅应体现于技术革新的速率应彰显于所订立安全基准的严苛程度。”
