What's wrong: This is not a safety recall in accordance with the safety act. However, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. If the convertible top cover is not installed correctly, it can separate unexpectedly from the vehicle while driving.

Why it matters: If the cover separates while driving, it could distract the driver increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Owners will receive an improved convertible top cover instruction label and installation instructions.
