An assembly including a housing, a pivot bracket, a sensor, a primary actuation mechanism, and a secondary actuation mechanism is disclosed. The pivot bracket is supported for rotation about a first axis relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. The sensor is supported for rotation with the pivot bracket. The primary actuation mechanism is supported for rotation about a second axis relative to the pivot bracket. The primary actuation mechanism is operable to apply a first torque on the pivot bracket about the first axis. The secondary actuation mechanism is operable to: (i) apply a second torque on the pivot bracket about the first axis when the pivot bracket is in the first position; and (ii) apply a third torque on the pivot bracket about the first axis when the pivot bracket is in the second position, the second torque being opposite the third torque.
