2019 TESLA MODEL STransport Canada Recall #2020435
The official notice
Defect
Certain vehicles do not have the correct warning indicator to show when the passenger airbag is turned off. Recent changes to Canadian regulations require all companies to use a symbol to show when the passenger airbag is turned off instead of text. This change can help to avoid confusion.
Safety Risk
This small error does not affect the function of the airbag system or the accuracy of the information displayed to the occupant.
Remedy
This is not a recall. Tesla has made changes to ensure that all new vehicles display the correct symbol when the passenger airbag is turned off. In addition, this change was sent to all vehicles in firmware update 2020.36.
