DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT PRIMER, APPLIED BY AN AUTOMATED GLAZING ROBOT, WAS NOT BEING DISPENSED ONTO THE GLASS. THIS OMISSION CAN LEAD TO THE CHEMICAL BONDING BETWEEN THE PRIMER AND THE POLYURETHANE ADHESIVE NOT BEING ACTIVATED AND THEREFORE THE WINDSHIELD NOT CHEMICALLY BONDED TO THE VEHICLE. WHERE THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT CHEMICALLY BONDED, WATER COULD ENTER THE VEHICLE AND/OR THERE MAY BE INCREASED WIND NOISE.

Questions

Does an open recall mean the car is unsafe to drive?

Not usually. NHTSA issues a "do not drive" or "park outside" advisory when a defect is dangerous enough to keep you out of the car — those are flagged Critical above. Everything else should be repaired promptly but is not an immediate stop-driving order.

Do I pay for recall repairs?

No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to fix a safety recall free of charge, including parts and labour, whether or not you are the original owner.

Why are there complaints but no recalls?

Complaints are unverified reports filed by owners. They can prompt an investigation, but many never become recalls — either the fault isn't safety-related or it isn't widespread.
