In my 2012 there are no sensors on top of the struts. Just changed rear left strut and checked.

if there are sensors at the top of struts (close to them) they must be on the shelf that needs to be opened for access.

Variations in the suppliers soldering process in soldering points on the board of the ABC sensors may not be within design tolerances. A variation in the transmitted values between affected and unaffected sensors can result in an uneven front suspension. A warning will show in the IC. This condition may lead to unexpected body movements at the front axle that can adversely affect directional stability. Dealer will replace the sensors. Have your dealer check VMI to see if your vehicle is included. Approximately 4,579 vehicles affected.
