Recall 94V-212: 1994 Chevrolet C10, 1994 Chevrolet C20 and 6 more
GENERAL MOTORS CORP. recall for visibility, reported to NHTSA on Oct 26, 1994, covering about 29 vehicles.
The problem
The windshields were installed with incorrect windshield opening pinch-weld-flange primer. This primer will not properly etch the painted surface of the flange, allowing the windshield to separate from the vehicle during a collision. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 212, "windshield mounting."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the separation of the windshield from the vehicle during collision increases the risk of injury for all persons involved.
The fix
Dealers will remove the windshield and reinstall it using the correct primer.
