What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLES WERE INCORRECTLY EQUIPPED WITH STANDARD REAR WINDOWS INSTEAD OF THE NECESSARY RIVETED INSTALLATION SEAL ASSEMBLIES.

The risk

THE REAR DOOR WINDOWS DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE RETENTIONREQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 217, WHICH PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST PASSENGERS BEINGEJECTED OUT OF THE REAR IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

REPLACE THE EXISTING REAR WINDOW SEALS WITH THE RIVETED INSTALLATION SEAL ASSEMBLIES.

Notes

SYSTEM: VISUAL SYSTEMS; FMVSS 217.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CONVERSION VANS EQUIPPED WITH REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
