THE REAR BUMPER REINFORCEMENT MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FATIGUE CRACKING UNDER EXTENDED TRAILER TOW SERVICE WHEN USING A BUMPER-MOUNTED TRAILER HITCH BALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE BUMPER SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE TOWING CAUSING A POSSIBLE CRASH OF THE TOWED VEHICLE. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND TWO BRACKETS WILL BE INSTALLED TO FURTHER REINFORCE THE BUMPER.
