Tesla will fix both issues remotely: an over-the-air update will make windows automatically lower after a collision is detected, plus warning labels on affected doors, while the monitoring fix adds in-cabin camera tracking of eye movement instead of relying on steering-wheel torque sensors. Eight other automakers separately recalled a combined 4.3 million vehicles in China around the same time under tightened post-crash door-safety rules.\n\nThe U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said no equivalent recall has been issued for American Teslas. The episode adds to scrutiny of flush, electronic door handles across the EV industry, which have drawn criticism after several fatal crashes where occupants could not escape burning vehicles."}}
