Land Rover Range Rover: Full Windscreen Retention May Not Be Achieved In The Event Of An Air-bag Deployment

Recall Summary Land Rover is recalling 77 Range Rover vehicles because the windscreen may not be properly bonded to the vehicle body. This bonding failure could allow water and wind to enter the vehicle, and in severe cases such as an airbag deployment or collision, the windscreen could detach. Land Rover will inspect the vehicles and, if needed, remove and reinstall the front windscreen using proper bonding procedures.
