Description

Due to improper manufacturing conditions, some of the windshields may form bubbles after an extended time in hot temperatures. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, "Glazing Materials." The presence of bubbles may hinder driver's visibility thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
