Missing panel cover above pedals

I drove my wife's 2022 XC40 Recharge today and it seems like a panel is missing above the pedals. I don't use her car often so I don't completely remember what it looked like but I'm sure there should be a cover there. We don't tinker on this a lot but a couple days ago, she took it to the dealer. I'm suspecting a tech might have forgotten to put a cover back on it. Has anyone else noticed this or can confirm if there's supposed to be a panel there before we make the trip to the shop? Thanks in advance!
 
Some XC40 Recharges don't have a full panel above the pedals, it's normal to see wiring. But if you're sure it looked different before, it's worth asking the dealer to confirm nothing was left off after service
 
Dealers pull that trick more often than folks realize, forgetting panels, clips, even bolts. If it looks bare above the pedals, you're probably right. I'd call 'em out before making another trip.
 
I’d still verify it carefully first, sometimes panels just aren’t fully clipped back in after service. It is worth a quick inspection before assuming anything’s missing or improperly installed.
