Remedy
Tesla will notify owners in writing and arrange for a no-charge inspection of their car. If an incorrect sun visor is found, it will be replaced.
On certain cars, the tire placard label has some errors in recommended tire pressure. Specifically, the pounds per square inch (“PSI”) pressures have small errors:
1. Cars with rear 225/45R18 tires incorrectly list 35 PSI instead of 36 PSI.
2. Cars with rear 225/40R19 tires incorrectly list 37 PSI instead of 39 PSI.
3. Cars with rear 225/35R19 tires incorrectly list 33 PSI instead of 35 PSI.
All of the metric pressures are correct.
Safety Risk
These small variations in recommended tire pressure are unlikely to affect safety.
Remedy
This is not a recall. The company has made production changes to ensure that the tire placard label on all new cars has the correct tire inflation pressures.
On certain cars fitted with 18-inch rear tires, the tire placard label shows the wrong rear tire size. Canadian regulations require the correct tire size to be listed on the tire placard. If the car is fitted with the incorrect rear tires, it may not handle as designed.
Safety Risk
A change in vehicle handling characteristics could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to install a corrected tire placard label.

Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver and passenger sun visors.
The compliance label may list the wrong tire size and recommended tire inflation pressures. Using a tire that is not properly inflated, or that is the wrong size, could cause a tire failure or result in poor driving performance.
Safety Risk
A tire failure could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the compliance label as required.
The compliance label on certain motorcycles may be missing information. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and gross axle weight rating (GAWR) values may not be listed. The proper tire pressure and rim size may also be missing. Without this information, a user may overload the motorcycle or its tires. This could cause poor handling. A tire that is underinflated or overloaded could fail.
Safety Risk
Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and result in a crash.
Remedy
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the compliance label inspected and replaced as required.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. The tire certification label on the B-pillar incorrectly states a front wheel size of 19 inches, when it should read as 18 inches. In the unlikely event that incorrectly sized wheels and/or tires were installed, vehicle stability could be affected, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Volvo will install a corrected certification label on affected vehicles.
The affected vehicle may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. The airbag warning label on the driver and/or passenger side sun visors may be incorrect or missing. A missing or incorrect sun visor air bag warning label would not provide the required air bag warning information to the driver and/or passenger, which could increase the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
A dealer will inspect the vehicle and install a new driver and/or passenger sun visor with the correct label as necessary.
On certain vehicles with folding seats and a total permissible weight of under 4536 kg (10,000 lbs), the information label for body builders contains incorrect information regarding the unloaded vehicle weight (UVW). The purpose of the label is to provide fuel consumption relevant weight information, however, if a body builder were to refer to the incorrect UVM information, the maximum permissible UVW may be exceeded after the vehicle modification is complete, which in the event of a crash, could increase risk of injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the label and check that the UVW is not exceeded.
Certain vehicles may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The tire certification label may bear incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) information. The label incorrectly states "520 kg" (1146 lbs) instead of the correct "450 kg" (992 lbs). If an owner were to rely on the incorrect values, it could lead to premature tire failure and vehicle overloading, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will apply a revised certification label with the correct values.
Certain Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The compliance label may bear incorrect front and rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) values. If the vehicle were to be loaded in excess of either GAWR value, it could lead to premature tire failure and/or vehicle overloading, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
