The problem
The involved vehicles have steering wheel center hubs which fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 107, "Reflecting surfaces". The horn button cap and the lock lever have a brushed chrome finish. The surface reflectivity of this finish on some of these horn button caps and lock levers is approximately twice the maximum reflectivity allowed by the standard.
The fix
Dealer will replace the cap and lever with parts painted to match the interior trim color at no cost to owner.
