SGThe Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore is contacting dealers and manufacturers of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to investigate whether certain models have doors that could be challenging to open in an emergency. This follows a recall in China related to electronic door systems, where concerns were raised about the difficulty of locating or operating interior mechanical emergency door releases. The LTA emphasized that it routinely updates vehicle safety standards to align with industry advancements, including those involving electronic door technology. No recalls have occurred in Singapore, and the authority has not received reports from vehicle owners about issues with door operation. Vehicles approved by the LTA already include mechanical fail-safe mechanisms to allow occupants to open doors from within during emergencies. Vehicle owners with concerns are encouraged to reach out to authorized dealers, and users are advised to become familiar with the location and function of mechanical emergency releases in their vehicles.
