Headlight glass shattered for no reason after owning for one week. Note there is already a recall on this glass but manufacturer claims that this unit was manufactured after the window of the recall so it could not have been affected. But I have confirmed that this unit does have the defective glass in the headlights, made of non-tempered glass and are prone to shattering. Saehr04dis/h11ky122lvoldot kaper ii is the defective glass in my vehicle. Recall # 170720rev the manufacturer should probably expand the dates of the recall. I understand that there is at least one other vehicle involved.
