SCION MOONROOFS SHATTERING, NHTSA STARTS PROBE
According to a report on ConsumerAffairs.com, is investigating the 2005 and 2006 Toyota Scion tC following nine reports of shattered moonroofs. NHTSA told Consumer affairs that fragments of the shattered moonroofs fell into the passenger compartment. In seven incidents, the glass fell from retractable glass panel sections and in two incidents the glass in stationary panels shattered. Toyota recalled several models of the Scion tC last year because of consumer complaints that a glass wind deflector located near the moonroof might shatter when struck by road debris. That recall involved about 71,000 Scion tC coupes in the U.S. that were also from the 2005-06 model years.
