The risk

There is a possibility of wearing of the dashboard wiring by contact with the steering column and/or the pedal mounting. This may cause serious electrical problems to the vehicle like short-circuit of the rear stoplights and the front right headlight, interruptions in the engine’s function, overheating of the engine, etc.
