What is being recalled

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.

Why it is dangerous

IF THE BOND DETERIORATES, IT COULD PROVIDE LESS THAN THE INTENDED LEVEL OF GLASS RETENTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND LIFTGATE GLASS.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 00V-020 when calling a dealer.
