It was and very centered & low

Default Front Bumper crack


I had the same issue, wasn’t aware it was “a thing”. I had the front bumper replaced about 2 years ago while it was in the shop getting the rear bumper fixed from someone hitting me in a parking lot. New bumper is still going strong so far

Thanks BCritter!
I was up in S. Georgia this weekend and saw 3 more. Unfortunately I could not get any photos due to the rain.
If anyone else can post their photos I would appreciate it.

They told me to take it to a body shop and have them fix it. I tried to explain that a body shop would not be able to fix it as there is a design flaw.

ChrisOK -

They told you to take it to a body shop and have them fix it.....does that mean they will cover the repair?

No, they said they would reimburse me later if they ever decided to put out a campaign for the problem.

That is the one, is that on the driver side? Most people seem to only have the problem on the passenger side.
