The issue
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts and CMVSS 212 - Windshield Mounting. The bonding of the windshield might not meet specifications of the 212 standard. This could result in the possibility of the windshield separating in the event of a crash, and in the case of a head-on collision warranting deployment of the passenger frontal airbag, the windshield might not be able to support the airbag as intended, affecting compliance to the 208 standard and increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules pourraient ne pas satisfaire aux exigences de la norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 208 - Protection des occupants en cas de collision frontale et la NSVAC 212 - Cadre de pare-brise. Le collage du pare-brise pourrait ne pas satisfaire aux spécifications de la norme 212, et le pare-brise pourrait se détacher en cas d'accident. En cas de collision frontale justifiant le déploiement du coussin gonflable du passager avant, le pare-brise pourrait ne pas pouvoir soutenir le coussin gonflable comme prévu (nonconformité à la norme 208) augmentant ainsi les risques de blessures au passager avant. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le pare-brise.
