# Service bulletin SB\-21\-17\-003

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10194273
- Published by NHTSA: 2021\-05\-24
- Manufacturer's number: SB\-21\-17\-003
- Manufacturer's date: 2021\-04\-19
- NHTSA component: EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

## NHTSA's summary

On some Model Y vehicles, the color of the red band that surrounds the LH and RH taillights do not match because the vehicle has Revision D for the LH taillight \(Figure 1\) which has a darker tint, and the right side has Revision C \(Figure 2\) which has a lighter tint. This is only a cosmetic issue that does not affect the performance of the taillights.
