Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Sika Corporation is recalling certain aftermarket auto glass adhesive cartridges branded SikaTack ASAP+ with product code 402723. The affected units were packaged on February 28, 2011, and carry lot number 3000083574. A production anomaly during packaging contaminated a limited quantity of the product.

The defect causes the adhesive to potentially fail to cure or harden. If this condition goes undetected, the glass may shift or fall out unexpectedly, which could cause injury to vehicle occupants, property damage, or a vehicle crash.

Sika will notify owners and remove the windshield or other affected glass to reinstall it with new adhesive product. Repairs will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on July 7, 2011. Owners may contact Sika at 1-248-577-1051 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
