Land Rover has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2009 Range Rover vehicles. They stated that during the installation process it was identified that primer, applied by an automated glazing robot, was not being dispensed onto the glass. This omission can lead to the chemical bonding between the primer and the polyurethane adhesive not being activated and therefore the windshield not chemically bonded to the vehicle. Where the windshield is not chemically bonded, water could enter the vehicle and/or there may be increased wind noise.
Full windshield retention may not be achieved in the event of an airbag deployment or during a vehicle crash. This increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Dealers will inspect the rear tailgate glass for the presence of primer and will prime the windshield glass as needed and free of charge. The recall bagan on July 17, 2009. Owners may contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
