The problem
The international horn emblem is missing from the leather steering wheel cover. This does not meet the requirements for fmvss no. 101, "Controls and displays."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause inability to warn other drivers in a crash situation, and result in vehicle damage and increased risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will stamp the steering wheel with an electrically heated tool on the left and right spoke of the steering wheel.
