Hazard
Sound-deadening auxiliary material is installed near the front seat belt retractor with belt tensioner (a device that instantly retracts slack in the seat belt upon collision) located at the lower center pillar. When the belt tensioner activates during a collision, high-temperature gas generated may cause this auxiliary material to melt and deteriorate, potentially resulting in fire.
