The defect

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

The risk

In the event of a crash with a frontal air bag deployment, an unbelted child in the front passenger seat has an increased risk of injury.
