This may be attributed to varied environmental conditions during transit from the assembly plant to the dealerships. If possible, bring the vehicle into the shop to warm up and stabilize to a room temperature closer to 20°C (68°F) or higher prior to removing the plastic coverings. Running the engine may help in warming the hood wrapping adhesive for easier removal. Also, reuse the white RapGard that was removed from the car to dab/remove any adhesive residue left behind. For general guidelines, refer to the Warranty and Policy Manual, Section 2.9.00 Storage of New Vehicles.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-10252649-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-10252649-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10252649","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"NAUTILUS","year_from":2024,"year_to":2024,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2024_lincoln_nautilus"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
