## NHTSA's summary

PITSTOP: FORTE \(BDM\) FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET \- This Pitstop provides information regarding front license plate installation on 2019MY\~ Forte \(BDm\) vehicles. On Forte \(BDm\) vehicles without Smart Cruise Control \(SCC\), the front license plate can be installed directly onto the front bumper using the locating dimples \(A\) found on the front bumper to ensure alignment. Forte \(BDm\) vehicles equipped with Smart Cruise Control \(SCC\) will have a front radar and will include a license plate bracket located in the trunk upon delivery. ALWAYS use the license plate bracket for these vehicles. If the bracket is not used, the license plate will block the line of sight of the radar, which may result in warning messages and limitations of certain features.
