The problem

The u-clip style nuts that retain the front bumpers to the front bumper inner arms can fracture.

If one of the u-clip nuts fractures, the bumper will loosen and rattle causing fracture of the remaining u-clip nuts, resulting in separation of the bumper from the vehicle. If the bumper were to detach from the vehicle while it is being driven, a vehicle collision could result.

The fix

Inspection and replacement of the four u-clip nuts and the associated bolts.
