NHTSA Closes Investigation into Chrysler Crossfire Backlite Issue - glassBYTEs
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defect Investigation (ODI) has closed an investigation into reports that “the backlite window of the convertible top separates from its adhesive bond attachment” in the 2005... In 2011, Chrysler had extended its warranty on the model for 10 states after a review because it was considered this a “customer satisfaction” issue. An individual who lives outside of these states petitioned NHTSA for an investigation in June 2014. “NHTSA’s review indicates that the separation of the backlite occurs gradually and the glass remains intact and inside the top after failure,”... “Considering the agency priorities and agency resources, and the likelihood that further investigation would not result in a defect finding, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation of the petitioner’s concerns is not warranted,” according... “In 2010, FCA U. S. initiated an investigation into reports of the Chrysler Crossfire backlite separating from the convertible top,” according to NHTSA documents. “In conjunction with an informal inquiry from ODI, FCA U. S. completed an extensive investigation into the general design and field performance of the Crossfire convertible top backlite assembly (including the 2005 model year). Source: www.glassbytes.com
