Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the windshields were not installed correctly. Either the primer or activator was missing at the time of installation.

Why it matters: If a crash occurs the windshield may not be retained, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.

The fix: Dealers will remove the windshields, clean and reinstall them correctly with primer and activator. The recall began on January 25, 2008. All owners have been contacted and arrangements made to have vehicles repaired.
