The problem
The driver's occupant protection system (steering wheel and air bag) exceeds the 60g thorax criterion in nhtsa crash tests.
The risk
The occupant protection system does not comply with theenergy absorption requirements of fmvss 208. This reduces the crash protectionafforded by the steering wheel and air bag systems in event of an accident.
The fix
Replace the steering wheel with a modified wheel designed for increased energy absorption.
