They haven't offered to in two model years.

hmmm. i have been reading through several older threads. seems to be a common problem on all cars. I have also noticed that where the bumper and quarter panel meet seems to be a little "wavy"

Pull the bumper away from the wheel well far enough to see the tabs. One or two of the tabs are not seated properly, they need to be bent back forward to line up, and then the bumper just pops right into place. I had to fix both sides, left side had one tab bent, the right had two.

I had the dealer fix mine.

The fix is incredibly easy, as well as taking the entire bumper off. Save the trip and do it yourself.
