American automobile manufacturer Ford Motor has issued a voluntary recall on 4,532 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, and E-450 vehicles of certain model year 2011 in the US over safety issues related to windshields.
Due to improper manufacturing conditions, some of the windshields may form bubbles after an extended time in hot temperatures. The presence of bubbles may hinder driver's visibility thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
As a result, these vehicles will not conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, Glazing Materials.
The recall affected vehicles were manufactured from 12 May 2011, through 26 May 2011. Dealers of the company will inspect and replace the windshield if bubbles are present, free of charge.
The safety recall is scheduled to begin on or about 27 January 2014, and the company will notify the problem to owners of the affected vehicles.
