\n While personalizing one\u2019s vehicle is a long-cherished American tradition, the federal government is warning that one particular customization option can result in serious injuries in a crash. The little rhinestone bedazzled ring you\u2019ve slapped over the manufacturer\u2019s logo on the steering wheel has got to go.\n <\/p>\n

\n Car owners should not affix hard stick-on decorations to the center of a vehicle\u2019s steering wheel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in an announcement Monday. People should immediately remove any decorations they may have already put on their steering wheel, the agency said. Those decorations could become shrapnel-like projectiles in a crash, potentially causing serious, or even fatal, injury.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAt least one driver suffered a serious injury that resulted in the loss of sight in one eye, when an aftermarket emblem adorned with rhinestones became dislodged from the steering wheel in a crash and hit the driver in the face,\u201d NHTSA said.\n <\/p>\n

\n NHTSA described a potentially dangerous product as a \u201cmetal or plastic plate, usually covered with rhinestones or other shiny decorations, with an adhesive back that covers the vehicle\u2019s logo in the center of the steering wheel.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The agency didn\u2019t name any specific products or manufacturers but said, in general, such steering wheel decorations are potentially very dangerous.\n <\/p>\n

\n Most passenger vehicles today have driver-side airbags that, in a serious impact, deploy from the middle of the steering wheel. The airbag inflates with near-explosive force toward the driver\u2019s head and face, providing a cushioning effect in a crash. While most vehicles have a logo built into the center of the steering wheel, those factory-added decorations are designed to stay in place when the airbag is released. (Nissan recently had to recall some vehicles because their steering wheel logos could come loose.)\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
