- What is wrong
- The windshields were installed with incorrect windshield opening pinch-weld-flange primer.

This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 212, "windshield mounting."
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: the separation of the windshield from the vehicle during collision increases the risk of injury for all persons involved.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the windshield and reinstall it using the correct primer.
