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.
