The hazard
The owner's manual for certain vehicles was printed without the CMVSS 208 required information explaining that no objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is involved in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. Correction: Owners will be provided with an owner's manual insert containing the required airbag information.
