- Improper roof panel bonding. Recall 21V197000 affects 15,096 vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. The front roof panel between the windshield and sunroof may have been improperly bonded during a prior repair. The adhesive could deteriorate, causing the panel to detach and create a road hazard, increasing crash risk. Repairs involve removing and replacing the panel using approved materials without charge. Notification letters were sent in September and October 2021.
Owners dealing with repeated safety-related repairs or unresolved recall issues may have protections under their state’s lemon law. Reviewing these rights can provide guidance for addressing persistent defects with the manufacturer or dealer.
