| Condition | Some customers may comment that a knocking noise can be heard from the front end of their car while driving over speed bumps or turning corners at low speed. |
| Cause | This condition may be caused by a clearance issue between the radiator housing and the radiator support sleeve.
⇒ Low speed movement may causes a twist load into the chassis. |
| Correction | 5326741
If the noise has been validated to be coming from the radiator mounts, installation of BSR tape can be applied to the sleeve. |
