LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LID CONTACTING REAR BUMPER COVER
FORD:
2005-2006 Focus
ISSUE
Some 2005-2006 Focus four (4) door sedan vehicles may exhibit the outside edges of the luggage compartment lid contacting the rear bumper cover. This may be caused by a bent rear bumper cover mounting bracket (located under rear bumper cover) causing the rear bumper cover to sit too high on each outside edge. This concern may cause the rear bumper cover to appear to be warped.
ACTION
Straighten rear bumper cover mounting bracket.
Refer to the following Service Procedure.
