HONG KONG (AP) – Tesla and other Chinese carmakers are making a major recall of more than four million vehicles over safety concerns mostly related to their door handles, according to Chinese authorities on Friday.

The United States carmaker is recalling about 2.98 million China-made and imported EVs including Model 3, Model Y, Model X and Model S over door handle safety risks, according to China's State Administration for Market Regulation.

The recall, the largest this year according to Chinese media, comes a few months after Chinese authorities said in February that starting next year, it would be banning hidden car door handles that are commonly seen on Tesla electric vehicles and many Chinese EV models.
