Manufacturer: PILKINGTON NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Reported Jan 19, 2016

What is recalled

(Pilkington) is recalling certain replacement windshields, model FW04026 GTY, manufactured November 23, 2015, to December 16, 2015 for use in Mazda CX-5 vehicles that are equipped with the Smart City Brake Support system.
