May 22 (Reuters) – Tesla is recalling 14,575 Model Y ​SUVs in the ‌U.S., over a missing certification label with weight specifications, the ‌U.S. ​National ⁠Highway Traffic Safety ⁠Administration said on Friday.

Tesla will inspect and install the label ​on affected cars, NHTSA said.

The ⁠auto ⁠safety regulator added ​that the absence of ​a weight specification certification ‌label may lead to customers overloading these cars, ⁠which in turn “increases the risk of a crash.”

There ⁠were ‌no reports of ⁠any collisions, ​fatalities, ‌or injuries due ​to the ⁠issue, according to NHTSA.
