2019 TESLA MODEL 3 — Complaint #2063773
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:SRS MALFUNCTION WARNING LAMP/LIGHT filed February 8, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2063773 (ODI reference 11641467) concerns a 2019 TESLA MODEL 3 and was filed on February 8, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 8, 2023. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:srs malfunction warning lamp/light, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA MODEL 3 cohort independently describe similar air bags:srs malfunction warning lamp/light failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 TESLA MODEL 3 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Passenger safety restraint system fault warning keeps alerting on the display screen. I contacted Tesla about the situation and they want to charge me for the fix. This is a safety issue and not a mechanical issue
