Genesis G80 and G90 windshield may come off
high How serious is it? About this label
This is serious because glass detaching while you are driving increases the risk of a crash, though Hyundai has not told owners to stop driving.
What's wrong, in plain English
The front windshield and the rear window were glued in using the wrong primer, so the glue may not hold as strongly as it should. Over time that weaker bond can give way, and the windshield or rear window could come loose and detach while you are driving. Dealers will replace both the front and rear glass at no cost.
What you should do
1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your car is covered. 2. Contact a Genesis or Hyundai dealer for an appointment, or call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 and reference recall 001G. 3. Have the front and rear glass replaced free of charge.
