The defect
The u-clip style nuts that retain the front bumpers to the front bumper inner arms can fracture.
The risk
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 remedy
Inspection and replacement of the four u-clip nuts and the associated bolts.
