Summary:The lining element (10) for a motor vehicle comprises a rigid support element (12) and a covering element (14) covering the support element (12), the covering element (14) comprising a skin (26) intended to be visible to an occupant of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, the support element (12) defining at least one opening (22) for the deployment of an airbag toward the outside of the lining element (10), a frame (16) being connected to the support element (12) and extending around the periphery of said opening (22), the frame (16) carrying a continuous rib (34) extending from the frame (16) into the covering element (14), along at least a part of the periphery of the opening (22). The rib (34) is connected to the frame (16) by a weakening line (50) enabling the deformation of the rib (34) with respect to the frame (16) in the event of an impact against the lining element (10).
