Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que le tapis phono-absorbant du montant central ait été mal posé et que la surface et les bords du tapis soient endommagés. Le tapis risque alors de s’enflammer et de mettre le feu au véhicule s’il est exposé aux gaz dégagés par le prétendeur de la ceinture de sécurité lors d’une violente collision frontale ou latérale.
