What's wrong, in plain English
These vehicles come with a tire repair kit that includes a sealant bottle. When the kit is used on a flat tire, pressure can build up inside the bottle, causing the cap to detach unexpectedly. A cap that comes off this way can fly off and strike the person using the kit or someone standing nearby.
