- Summary

- Consequence
- If the bond deteriorates, it could provide less than the intended level of glass retention in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the windshield and liftgate glass.

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
