What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the softtop structure catch lever tension can ease resulting in a crack.
The risk

The fix
Dealers will inspect the roof alignment and roof locking pins. In addition, the two roof locking motors will be replaced. Also a new sensor system within the motor assembly will provide an improved control signal to the instrument cluster if the roof is not properly closed when the driver drives off.
