Hazard

In the lighting system, the steering column cover structure is inappropriate. If use continues in this condition, the wiring of the lighting system routed within the steering column may contact the cover, and in the worst case, the wiring may be severed, resulting in the headlights, parking lights, and turn signals failing to illuminate.
