SC232 (Rev 2, 11/10/2022)
This bulletin provides information to inspect and, if necessary, reattach the front windshield glass on 2014-2016MY Cadenza (VG) vehicles produced from February 1, 2013 through January 7, 2016. Certain sections of the front windshield glass may not have sufficient primer resulting in reduced adhesion of the windshield glass to the vehicle body. Although the exact cause of this condition is unknown, it is believed to be due to a deviation in the application of primer to the front windshield glass at the vehicle assembly plant. Insufficient adhesion can result in loosening of the front windshield glass, causing windshield separation. A separated windshield increases the risk of a crash and/or injury. Follow the procedure outlined in this publication to inspect the windshield for water leakage and, if necessary, remove and reattach the windshield. Before conducting the procedure, verify that the vehicle is included in the list of affected VINs.
NOTICE
There is no charge to the vehicle owner for this repair. Under applicable law, you may not sell or otherwise deliver any affected vehicle until it has been repaired pursuant to the procedures set forth in this bulletin.

2a. Mix a solution of soap and water into a clean spray bottle as follows:
- 500ml water
- 20ml soap
2b. Spray a moderate amount of soapy water along the upper outside seal area of the windshield.
Make sure the solution it is evenly spread across the entire surface and edges.
3. Inside the vehicle, inspect for water leakage along the top (E) and side pillar (F) areas of the windshield.

E: Between windshield glass and headliner.
F: Between windshield glass and front pillars.
CAUTION
When using the air gun, be careful NOT to lift or damage the inner tint lining on the windshield.
5. Immediately after blowing with the air gun, check for bubbles appearing on the outside of the windshield glass as shown.
