Airbags, Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #17V079000 · 2017 · 4 vehicles
What's wrong: The windshield bonding May be insufficient and, as a result, the windshield May separate from the vehicle in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection" and number 212, "windshield mounting."
Why it matters: If the windshield detaches in the event of a crash, the passenger frontal air bag May not be supported properly after it deploys, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the windshield, free of charge. The recall began March 2017.
