Parktronic Sensor Loose or Releases Without Obvious Cause

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of Parktronic sensors not firmly latched in the bumper support bracket/retainer tabs, this may be caused by the retainer tabs of the sensor mount in the bumper being outside the allowed production tolerance. This may occur at the front and/or rear bumper.







To resolve, bond the Parktronic sensors to the retainer tabs. Refer to Figure 1 for the appropriate bonding location. Any professional hot glue gun can be used.







NOTE:

- Please do not bond directly at the latching device (Figure 1, arrows).
