Details
What's wrong: Certain pickup trucks fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 212, "windshield mounting." Some of these vehicles lack a continuous urethane bonding bead between the body surface and the windshield.
Why it matters: In vehicles with this condition, the windshield may not be retained in accordance with the safety standard during a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will remove, reseal, and reinstall the windshield. Owner notification began on January 28, 2003.
