The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the outer trims on the left and right sides of the windscreen may detach from the car body when driven at high speed. The clips used to attach the trim to the car body are not sufficiently strong to hold the trim securely in position. In some cases, the trim may become detached and swing back, breaking the glass roof, and/or side window and/or rear window. 7 incidents reported.
Product: Replacement windscreen clips for Renault Megane Cabriolet V2 vehicles manufactured between October 2003 and July 2005 (the "Affected Vehicles")
