Details

What's wrong: Air bag and seat belt system warning labels are missing from the sun visor. This does not comply with fmvss no. 108, "occupant crash protection."

Why it matters: The vehicle occupant may not properly understand the operation of the air bag system and the need to use seat belts.

The fix: Owners will be provided with labels and installation instructions. If they so desire, they can have their dealers install these labels for them.
