Sika Recalls Automotive Glass Adhesives Due to Curing Defects

Sika is recalling SikaTITAN P2G automotive glass bonding adhesives because they may not harden properly, risking glass displacement and injury.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where glass may fall out, posing a risk of injury or crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Sika Corporation USA is recalling certain SikaTITAN P2G automotive glass bonding adhesives used on aftermarket automotive glass components. The affected adhesives may not sufficiently harden or cure, which means the glass may not be fully secured to the vehicle.

If the glass is not properly bonded, it may be displaced or fall out. This increases the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, property damage, or a vehicle crash.

Sika will notify owners and inspect the vehicles. As necessary, the affected auto glass will be reinstalled with new adhesive product free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2013. Customers may contact Sika at 1-248-307-2543 or 1-248-577-1074. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
