Recall Alert: 2008 Smart ForTwo

Windshield or Roof Could Come Off Car
Here’s an interesting recall: Smart USA is recalling some of its 2008 Smart ForTwo cars that have problematic paint. Testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found a batch of defective paint was used on 43 Smart ForTwos. The defective paint could lead to “de-laminating” around the car’s windshield and roof.
What this means is that the windshield or roof could come off of the car’s body. And lead to a crash, of course.
To find out if they’re affected by the recall, Smart ForTwo owners should call Smart USA at 248-648-2451. Smart dealers will repaint the affected areas. Until then, wear a helmet and goggles!
