What is wrong

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
What could happen
A center console that opens during a crash can allow unsecured cargo to eject into the cabin, increasing the risk of injury.
