Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Tempered glass increases the risk of injury in the event of a side impact or rollover crash.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles.
One or both of the rear-quarter windows may be tempered glass instead of laminated glass.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, “Ejection Mitigation.”
