Risk Description
The product poses a risk of injuries because the windscreen has not been properly glued according to production procedures and, in the event of an accident, it could come out of its frame. Owing to the loss of support which the windscreen provides for the passenger airbag, this would make the retention systems less effective and, in the case of convertibles, would reduce the crash resistance of the A-pillar.
