Issue: This recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by Vitro Automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Safety Risk: Glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “DOT 287” along with the lettering “VMR” (Replacement Market) and a date code that is before July 2019.

On certain vehicles, the parking brake connector clip may be out of hardness specification and could fracture when the parking brake lever is applied. This could result in unintended vehicle movement if the vehicle’s transmission is not in the PARK gear position, or if the vehicle is not equipped with a transmission having a PARK position. Unintended vehicle movement could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a revised parking brake cable connector clip.
- Brakes#2015609
10 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with air brakes and rear air suspension, the rear service brake and parking brake air lines could contact the rear axle housing during vehicle operation, causing the lines to wear. Over time, this could result in an air leak in the service or parking brake lines. An air leak in the parking brake lines could result in inadvertent parking brake application. An air leak in the rear service brake line could affect rear service brake performance, potentially resulting in a loss of rear service brake function. These conditions could increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property: Correction: Dealers will inspect air lines for damage and repair as necessary, as well as install revised rear brake chambers.
