The defect
The rivets for the side step cover may corrode and fracture, especially if usage involves exposure to salt or anti-freeze agent.
The hazard
If all of the rivets fracture, side step covers may drop off the vehicle, which can create a hazard for other road users. In addition, the step may be difficult for vehicle occupants to use.
