Eleven Chinese automakers, including Tesla, Xiaomi, and Xpeng, are recalling vehicles to address safety concerns over electronic door latches that can trap occupants, as Chinese regulators plan to ban hidden exterior handles by 2027.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tighter safety rules on door latches in China that will force redesigns before 2027. Prepare your product teams to adapt manual door releases now or risk losing market access and recalls.
