What's wrong?
The driver side frontal air bag in the 2014-2016 Pagani Huayra is mounted inside the steering wheel. In a frontal crash, it is supposed to stay fixed to that wheel structure as it inflates, so the bag opens in the correct position between the driver and the wheel.
On affected Huayras, the fastening holes for the air bag assembly in the steering wheel are out of tolerance. That means the holes do not hold the fasteners in the exact position Pagani designed. During deployment, the air bag assembly can shift or fail to stay adequately secured, which leads to improper air bag deployment.
There is no warning sign before failure. The defect is in the fit of the air bag fasteners and steering wheel mounting points, so an owner will not see a dashboard light, hear a noise, or feel a change in normal driving.
