Filing in context

Defect
The fastening torque setting of the assembly tool used to install the screws securing the front bumper clips to the left headlamp is improperly configured, leaving some screws incorrectly fastened. This allows play to develop in the front bumper. During a pedestrian collision, the pedestrian collision detection sensor mounted to the front bumper may not operate normally, preventing the pop-up hood from activating. In the worst case, the vehicle may fail to meet pedestrian head and leg protection standards in a pedestrian impact.
Corrective action
Retighten the front bumper clip mounting screws to the specified torque.
