An emergency exit label that is difficult to read can prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
6 safety recall campaigns, 3 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.

An emergency exit label that is difficult to read can prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Roof panels that separate during a crash can increase the risk of injury.
An unsecured seat may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
