Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108. The lens of the side marker lamp and side reflex reflector in the tail lamp assembly were manufactured with incorrect dye that is more susceptible to UV and high temperature decomposition. As a result, the red colour could fade over time. Correction: Dealers will replace all affected tail lamp assemblies.

On certain vehicles, the seat belts may not retract properly due to interference between the seat and the convertible top cover. This could cause excessive slack in the belts thereby reducing their effectiveness increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in a collision.
