NHTSA Investigates Toyota Scion tC

July 11, 2006
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the 2005 and 2006 Toyota Scion tC following nine reports of shattered moonroofs.

According to NHTSA, 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.

"Some reports allege that breakage occurred while the vehicles were being driven," according to NHTSA and "one complaint reported cuts from the broken glass.

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.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
