2008 --
Smart USA is
recalling 43 MY 2008 Fortwo
451 vehicles. A single batch
of paint sent to the company
did not meet specifications.
This paint was manufactured
in Germany. A re-work was
done in the plant using
different formulations of
painting materials. After
the re-work was completed,
it was determined that the
combination of materials
used to repaint the frame
and chassis could lead to
de-lamination of the paint
materials from the body and
frame structures. Such
de-laminating can take place
in the area of the body
where the windshield and
roof have been affixed with
adhesive, which could affect
the adhesion of those
components to the vehicle
body increasing the risk of
separation. This could cause
a crash if the roof or
windshield separated from
the vehicle while in motion.
Dealers will repaint the
affected areas to meet
specifications The recall is
expected to begin during
September 2008. Owners may
contact Smart USA at
1-248-648-2451. 08V-390 |
