What's wrong, in plain English

Tesla is recalling certain 2019 Model 3 cars. The sun visor on the driver's side may be missing the airbag warning information that is supposed to be printed on it. Because that warning information is not there, these cars do not meet the federal rule for occupant crash protection. Tesla service centers will look at the visor and replace it if that is needed, at no cost to the owner.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your car is included.
2. Contact a Tesla service center to have the visor inspected and replaced if needed, or call Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 (recall number SB-19-15-003).
3. The inspection and any replacement are free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V719000.
