Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
Windows that do not meet minimum loading requirements are at an increased risk of breaking and falling onto a passenger when pushed by passengers or objects.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
