Affected units: G6 produced Apr. 7, 2023–Dec. 22, 2025 — 134,588 units; P7+ produced Jul. 23, 2024–Dec. 10, 2025 — 94,688 units; X9 produced Aug. 8, 2023–Sep. 26, 2025 — 35,566 units. Defect: interior emergency mechanical door handles have similar color to trim, reducing recognizability and operability; in severe collisions that disable the vehicle low-voltage system this may hinder rapid door opening and passenger escape. Remedy: the company will apply free warning labels at the interior emergency-handle locations to mitigate the safety risk.
