Affected Component: STRUCTURE

Summary
TT: Some 2018 model year LC and LS models have been found with a bent front height adjustment sensor bracket. This is causing the headlights to be misaligned when auto adjusting based on the vehicle height position and in some cases, will set a DTC. 2018 model year LS and LC 2wd models share the same front suspension layout leaving the bracket vulnerable to damage if towed incorrectly. Vehicles found shipped by third party tow companies using flatbed trucks are not securing vehicles per the recommendations found in the Owner's Manual. Some methods seen include securing the vehicle with metal hooks around the front lower control arms as a mount point. The height adjustment sensor bracket is fixed to the lower control arm and using this method risks bending the bracket if the strap or chain contacts this bracket under load.
