Sikatack recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Sika is recalling certain aftermarket auto glass adhesive cartridges, branded sikatack asap+ with product code 402723 packaged on february 28, 2011, as lot number 3000083574. Due to a production anomaly, a limited quantity of product was contaminated during packaging. As a consequence, the product may not cure or harden, thereby preventing the glass from remaining secure to the vehicle.
What could happen
If this condition is undetected, the glass may shift or fall out unexpectedly, causing injury to the vehicle occupant, property damage, or a vehicle crash.
The fix
Sika will notify owners and will remove the windshield or other affected glass and reinstall the glass (or, where necessary, new glass) with new adhesive product. Repairs will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on july 7, 2011. Owners may contact sika at 1-248-577-1051.
