The defect
VEHICLES WERE INCORRECTLY EQUIPPED WITH STANDARD REAR WINDOWS INSTEAD OF THE NECESSARY RIVETED INSTALLATION SEAL ASSEMBLIES.
The risk
THE REAR DOOR WINDOWS DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE RETENTIONREQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 217, WHICH PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST PASSENGERS BEINGEJECTED OUT OF THE REAR IN AN ACCIDENT.
The remedy
REPLACE THE EXISTING REAR WINDOW SEALS WITH THE RIVETED INSTALLATION SEAL ASSEMBLIES.
