• Visibility · NHTSA 16E002000

  Jan 19, 2016Visibility:Windshield

  Problem

(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.
