The defect

Some vehicles may have been manufactured with a windshield mask having too large an opening which was not angled correctly. The top of the windshield could come out of the rubber molding, allowing the windshield glass to shift back approximately one inch.

The remedy

All involved vehicles will have the mask reformed and a bracket will be added to ensure the retention of the windshield.
