Defect in the vehicle body (front bumper clip). ■ Defective component: Vehicle body (front bumper clip). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Some screws securing the front bumper clip attached to the left headlamp were not properly tightened because the tightening torque setting of the fastening tool used during assembly was inappropriate.
