Panoramic roof glass may detach
Contamination during priming may weaken the bond between the roof glass and vehicle body, causing wind noise, water leaks, or glass detachment. The body surface will be cleaned and the glass rebonded.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- PANORAMIC ROOF GLASS MAY DETACH
- Defect
- It has been identified that the mating surface of the vehicle body for the panoramic glass roof panel may have been contaminated during the primer phase of the instigation process. There is a possibility that this could cause poor adhesion between the panoramic glass roof panel and the vehicle body. This could result in wind noise water leaks and in the worst cases detachment of the panoramic glass roof.
- Remedy
- Recall all affected vehicles to remove clean body and re-bond the panoramic glass roof panel.
