Details
What's wrong: These vehicles do not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 581, "bumper standard." These vehicles were produced with rear bumper fasteners that may be loose or missing.
Why it matters: If the fasteners are loose or missing, the rear bumper may not absorb energy as it was designed to do in the event of a rear end collision.
The fix: Dealers will verify that the rear bumper beam fasteners are present and properly tightened and, if missing, install new fasteners.
