Smart Car Recall Information
Last Updated - December, 2011

AUGUST 2008 -- Smart USA is recalling 43 MY 2008 Fortwo 451 vehicles. A single batch of paint sent to the company did not meet specifications. This paint was manufactured in Germany. A re-work was done in the plant using different formulations of painting materials. After the re-work was completed, it was determined that the combination of materials used to repaint the frame and chassis could lead to de-lamination of the paint materials from the body and frame structures. Such de-laminating can take place in the area of the body where the windshield and roof have been affixed with adhesive, which could affect the adhesion of those components to the vehicle body increasing the risk of separation. This could cause a crash if the roof or windshield separated from the vehicle while in motion. Dealers will repaint the affected areas to meet specifications The recall is expected to begin during September 2008. Owners may contact Smart USA at 1-248-648-2451. 08V-390
