## Narrative
OEM front left and right fender flares detaching from fender on highway speeds. If I didn't notice this, it would of broke off and hit a pedestrian or another vehicle  cuasing an accident. I will be bringing this in for the 3rd time to fix the same problem. I really believe it's an engineering defect.
