SAFELITE FULFILLMENT, INC.
What Happened
The side and rear windows on your vehicle are made of a special type of glass called tempered glass. In some cases, the glass used in these windows might not break into small, safe pieces like it's supposed to, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk if Unfixed
If your vehicle is in an accident and the glass shatters, it could cause serious injuries to you or your passengers. The shards of glass could fly everywhere and cut or puncture your skin.
Free Fix
Your local glass repair shop will replace the side and rear windows with new, safe tempered glass at no cost to you. Just contact them when you receive the recall notice, and they'll take care of it.
