On certain vehicles, the fastening struts on the roof edge spoiler may develop cracks over time, which could allow the spoiler to become loose and detach from the vehicle. Should this occur, the spoiler could cause injury by striking bystanders or could become an obstacle to other drivers, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install reinforcement wedges to the roof edge spoiler.
