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. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact Vitro's customer service at 1\-412\-995\-6457 or argbacklites@vitro.com to arrange for replacement of the glass. - [2004390](/recalls/tc/2004390.md), 2004-10-29: Lights And Instruments. On certain vehicles, vibration and heat may cause the tail lamp/stop lamp bulb to loosen in its socket. If this occurs, the bulb may flicker and eventually become inoperative. The loss of one or both of the tail lamps/stop lamps could reduce the vehicle's visibility to following drivers and fail to warn others that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could lead to a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies and, if necessary, replace them. - [2004195](/recalls/tc/2004195.md), 2004-06-11: Engine. On certain vehicles, the Electronically Controlled Air Suspension \(ECAS\) may produce a brief electrical spike while the vehicle is operating. This electrical spike can disrupt the Powertrain Control Module \(PCM\) causing the vehicle to stall. If the spike damages the PCM, the vehicle may not restart. Correction: Problem previously addressed by Technical Service Bulletin A001831 in January 2002. - [2004158](/recalls/tc/2004158.md), 2004-05-10: Seats And Restraints. Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 209, seat belt assemblies. These vehicles have a condition where one or two sensors in the driver's and front seat passengers seat belt retractors may be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as during heavy braking, may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies to determine proper vehicle sensor function, and replace them if necessary. - [2004088](/recalls/tc/2004088.md), 2004-03-09: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the brake hoses are not labelled with a designation that identifies the manufacturer of the assembly as required by CMVSS 106. This non\-compliance has no effect on the performance of the involved brake hose assemblies. Correction: Since this does not pose a safety risk, no corrective action is required. - [2004045](/recalls/tc/2004045.md), 2004-02-04: Electrical. On certain vehicles, water may seep into the windshield wiper module. If this were to happen, it could result in windshield wipers that will not turn on, cease operation while driving, fail to turn off, turn on by themselves, and/or continuous windshield washer pump operation. Improper operation of the windshield wiper system in a severe weather situation could reduce the driver's visibility, resulting in a possible vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealer will install a Gore\-Tex patch over the windshield wiper module vent\-hole. The wiper motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected for signs of water intrusion and/or corrosion and replaced as required. - [2003048](/recalls/tc/2003048.md), 2003-02-25: Powertrain. Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 114 \- Theft Protection. These vehicles are equipped with a mechanical override that could allow the ignition key to be removed with the shift lever in a position other than park. In addition, these vehicles have an override that can allow the transmission to be shifted out of park with the ignition in the off position. These overrides are not permitted unless the vehicle has a locking steering column and the overrides have covers that can only be removed with a screwdriver or other tool. Correction: Dealers are to eliminate these conditions by disabling the overrides. - [2002151](/recalls/tc/2002151.md), 2002-08-13: Airbag. Certain vehicles may have a driver's side airbag inflator that could fracture at a weld during a deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants and the airbag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capacity of the bag to protect the driver. Correction: Dealers are to inspect and if necessary replace the driver side airbag module assembly. - [2001285](/recalls/tc/2001285.md), 2001-12-05: Electrical. Certain sport utility vehicles. The multifunction switch could develop an open circuit condition with the bottom connector in the hazard switch carrier that results in the stop lamps and the hazard lamps becoming inoperative. The center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected. The loss of stop lamps and rear hazard lamps could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped and could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the hazzard warning flasher switch. - [2001098](/recalls/tc/2001098.md), 2001-04-19: Suspension. On certain vehicles, either front lower control arm brackets may fracture, which could result in separation of the front lower control arm from the frame. This could result in loss of vehicle control, and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the left and right front lower control arm brackets. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
