Affected Vehicles
Condition
The left side rear lid hinge cover is loose.
Technical Background
Due to too little clearance between the left rear lid hinge cover and the left luggage compartment side trim, the rear lid hinge cover interferes with the luggage compartment side trim (Figure 1). As a result, the rear lid hinge cover is forced loose.
This can also happen if a heavy object is against the luggage compartment side trim.
Production Solution
A support rib was installed in the frame of the left luggage compartment side trim to increase the clearance.
Service
The specified distance between the rear lid hinge cover and luggage compartment side trim is 3 mm. See Figure 5.
1. If the distance between the rear lid hinge cover and luggage compartment side trim is less than 3mm, replace the luggage compartment side trim.
2. Replace the rear lid hinge cover if it is damaged. Only improved parts are available.
