Summary:

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with a sunroof sunshade. The primer applied to prepare the surface prior to bonding the sunshade holders to the sunroof weakened the bonding strength of the adhesive,
resulting in an unsatisfactory bond of the holder to the sunroof.

This condition can result in separation of the holder, causing the sunshade to fall, possibly striking a vehicle occupant.

Dealers will remove and re-bond the sunshade holders.
