What is wrong
Vehicle description: mini vans. These vehicles may have been built with incorrect urethane, resulting in an adhesive bond rather than the intended molecular bond for the front windshield and rear liftgate glass.
The risk
If the bond deteriorates, it could provide less than the intended level of glass retention in the event of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the windshield and liftgate glass.
