The issue
On certain vehicles, the windshield may not be properly secured to the vehicle body due to insufficient adhesion between paint applied during the second-stage painting process and paint applied during final-stage painting. If the windshield is not properly secured to the vehicle body, it may separate from the vehicle during a collision resulting in ejection of unbelted occupants and severe injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le pare-brise peut ne pas avoir été correctement fixé à la carrosserie en raison d'un problème d'adhérence entre la deuxième couche de peinture et la couche de finition. Si le pare-brise n'est pas bien fixé à la carrosserie, il peut se détacher lors d'une collision, ce qui peut permettre l'éjection d'occupants non retenus et contribuer à causer des blessures ou des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations nécessaires.
