Problem: Both the supplemental inflatable restraint (sir) caution label and an engine start label were installed on the same side of the driver's sun visor. This does not comply with fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning labels.
Fix: A new label, with installation instructions, will be sent directly to owners. Owners will install the label or can have their dealer install the label for them.
