Details

What's wrong: The windshield on the affected vehicles may have been installed using expired urethane primer, allowing the windshield to become displaced in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 212, "windshield mounting."

Why it matters: If the windshield dislodges during a crash, there is an increased risk of occupant injury.

The fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the windshield, free of charge. The recall began March 4, 2016.
