Tesla Model 3 sun visor missing airbag warning label

NHTSA campaign 19V719000 · Reported 2019-10-10 · Tesla, Inc.

What's wrong, in plain English

The sun visor on the driver's side is missing the printed airbag warning information that federal rules require. That label carries safety information about the airbags for anyone using the vehicle. Nothing is mechanically broken and the notice does not say the airbags themselves fail, but without the required warning people may not get safety information they are supposed to have. Tesla service centers will inspect the visor and replace it if needed, free of charge.
