FCA US is recalling 184 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans in the 2015 and 2016 model years because the vehicle windshields might dislodge in the event of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
Some windshields may have been installed with expired urethane primer, and as a result fail to conform with all federal safety standards, NHTSA said.

“A routine inspection of two vehicles found their windshields did not conform to FCA US standards for proper adhesion,” FCA US said in a released statement. “A subsequent investigation discovered a small number of additional vehicles may exhibit a similar condition because their windshields may have been installed with an expired bonding agent.”
The automaker noted it’s unaware of any injuries, accidents or complaints related to the issue. Dealers will replace the windshields, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on March 4.
The recall also covers an estimated 65 vehicles in Canada and three outside the NAFTA region, FCA US said.
Vehicle owners can reach the FCA US customer care center at (800) 853-1403. The number for this recall is S02.

From identity management to third-party certifications, the right technology partner should make security easier to manage. Here are the three building blocks that fleet managers need to stay in control as connected systems scale.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
