The real question is, why isn't every major news outlet running this story and holding it up as an example of why you shouldn't use glass in cars?

Scion Announces Special Service Campaign On Selected tCs

10/18/2005 Torrance CA

October 18, 2005 - Torrance CA - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., will
launch a voluntary Special Service Campaign with the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA). The campaign involves certain 2005 and early 2006
model year Scion tC sport coupes in the U.S.

The tC is equipped with a glass wind deflector which tilts upward when the moonroof
is opened. In certain 2005 and early 2006 model year tC vehicles, there is a possibility
that if impacted by a projectile, such as road debris, while driving with the
wind deflector in the upward-tilted position at highway speeds, the wind deflector
may shatter and separate from the frame. In the worst case, pieces of the wind
deflector glass that have separated from the frame may fall upon the vehicle occupants
causing driver distraction and/or injury.

Although Scion has only received three reports from NHTSA, customers may reduce
the likelihood of this occurring on their vehicle by not opening the moonroof
until the Special Service Campaign modification has been performed.

Scion will mail owners of the involved vehicles a Special Service Campaign notification
via first class beginning in late October. Owners are requested to contact their
local Scion or Toyota dealer for diagnosis and repair upon receiving their notification.
The protective wind deflector laminate installation will be done at no charge
to the owners of the vehicle.

Customers with questions or concerns should contact the Scion Customer Experience
Center at 1-866-707-2466.
