Motor vehicles from China
74 official alerts and recalls concern motor vehicles made in China, 25 of them in 2025 (data to 1 October 2026).
74 EU Safety Gate alerts concern motor vehicles made in China. The first dates from 23 January 2020, the latest from 22 July 2026. In the last four complete quarters there were 10, down from 23 in the four quarters before. The hazards named most often are injuries (64%), fire (27%) and chemical (11%). 19% of the EU alerts were marked as sold online, and 11% name an online marketplace, most often AliExpress and Amazon. The most common outcome was recalled from consumers (68% of EU alerts); 30% included a measure ordered by an authority. Chemicals named in the official risk descriptions include lead and PAHs.

No rate: fewer than 5 alerts in 2025, or less than €50M of EU imports, or no clean customs-code match for this category.
Rates divide EU Safety Gate alerts by the value of extra-EU imports in the same customs codes (UN Comtrade, EU-27, converted from US dollars at the ECB annual average rate). They measure how often regulators flag products from this origin against the trade in them, not the share of products that are unsafe.
