What's wrong

The problem

POOR BOND ADHESION BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS AND MOUNTING COULD ALLOW THE WINDSHIELD TO SEPARATE DURING A 30 MPH FRONTAL BARRIER TEST REQUIRED BY FMVSS 212.

The risk

IF WINDSHIELD GLASS SEPARATION OCCURS DURING ANACCIDENT, AN UNBELTED OCCUPANT COULD BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND INJURED.

What to do

The fix

REINSTALL WINDSHIELDS TO ASSURE PROPER BOND ADHESION.

SYSTEM: WINDSHIELD/FMVSS 212.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
