Detailed Description

This Dorman exterior door handle is engineered for Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y applications where the original black handle has failed but the embedded lock and unlock sensor remains usable. Instead of replacing the entire door handle assembly, this OE FIX design allows the working Hall effect sensor from the factory handle to be transferred, helping simplify the repair and reduce unnecessary parts replacement. The black plastic handle is built to restore the original look and feel of the vehicle’s exterior door hardware. Dorman 15843 is a direct-fit solution for select Tesla Model 3 front left and rear left doors, as well as Tesla Model Y rear left applications listed below.

This part cross-references no listed interchange part numbers for the same application.
