While personalizing one’s 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.
A driver suffered a serious injury that resulted in the loss of sight in one eye after rhinestones on the steering wheel became dislodged in a crash, the NHTSA said. The little rhinestone bedazzled ring you’ve slapped over the manufacturer’s logo on the steering wheel has got to go.
“At 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,” NHTSA said. The agency didn’t name any specific products or manufacturers but said, in general, such steering wheel decorations are potentially very dangerous.
