On certain vehicles, a crack in the electric roof locking motor's helical gear can result in the catch lever no longer holding the roof firmly to the windscreen frame. If both roof locking motors fail, the softtop could open while the car is in motion. Correction: Dealers will replace both roof locking motors. The new electric motors have a stronger gear mechanism, which locks the roof into the closed position. Also, a new sensor system within the motor assembly provides an improved control signal to the instrument cluster if the roof is not properly closed when the driver drives off.

On certain vehicles, inductive voltage spikes caused by the operation of various relays such as the horn relay, could inadvertently deploy the driver's side airbag, predominantly on those vehicles operated in hot and humid climates. Activation of the airbag under these conditions could cause personal injury. Correction: An interference suppressor will be installed into the vehicle's electrical system which will eliminate the potential for voltage spikes.

THE COVER SLEEVES ON THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPES MAY HAVE BEEN SECURED WITH ONLY TWO INSTEAD OF FOUR WELDING SPOTS.

CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, TAIL PIPES WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONES ON WHICH THE COVER SLEEVE HAS BEEN SECURED WITH FOUR WELDING SPOTS.
