Toyota Hiace rear glass safety issue


Monday, 17 October, 2016

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is advising drivers of Toyota Hiace long wheel base vans that there may be issues with the vehicle's rear window.

Glass supplied by O'Brien Glass Industries and used in the rear screen was not correctly toughened and may not shatter according to the requirements of the Australian Design Rules. If the untoughened glass is broken, it poses a cutting risk.

You'll need to contact O'Brien to determine if your rear glass is from an affected batch. If this is found to be the case, it will be replaced at no cost.

The glass was sold nationally, directly by O'Brien between 14 December 2007 and 31 December 2008.
