What Happened
The warning labels on your vehicle's dashboard and sun visor are supposed to alert you to airbag safety information in both English and Spanish. However, these labels are too small to meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If your airbag warning labels are too small, you might miss critical safety information in case of an airbag deployment, which could cause injury.
Free Fix
You'll receive a notification with a replacement label design and an update on how to get the correct labels installed at no cost to you. Your dealer will provide the correct labels for your sun visor, and you should contact them once you receive the notification.
