Subject:
Insufficient Front Fascia and Grille Gap/Clearance When Closing Hood (Remove Foam Spacer)
Models:

Condition
Some customers may comment that the gap/clearance between the front fascia and the radiator grille may not be sufficient to prevent damage to these
components when closing the hood.
Important:
This condition may be noticed during New Vehicle Inspection.
Cause
The reduced gap/clearance may be due to the white foam insulator strip.
Vehicles built before the above listed breakpoint have a self-sticking white foam insulator strip attached to the underside of the front bumper fascia just
forward of the four upper push-in retainers.
Correction
Remove the white foam insulator strip from the front fascia.

For customer satisfaction, prior to the delivery of a vehicle to a customer, check for the above condition and complete the following procedure:
