VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR

Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH INCORRECT URETHANE, RESULTING IN AN ADHESIVE BOND RATHER THAN THE INTENDED MOLECULAR BOND FOR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND REAR LIFTGATE GLASS.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND LIFTGATE GLASS.
