Is this going to be recall or just case by case? I would like to see some photos if anybody has them.

I just took a look at mine and found a crack but i am not sure if this is what you guys are talking about.
here are some pics. If this is it, only one of the sides is cracked, by the looks of the other side do you thing they will replace both sides?

Photos arent working now unless you go through a online sight.
There a old thread about this use the find button plenty of pics there.

I belive they are replacing both sides from bottom windshield to bottom back window and a letter will come in the mail.

Unless they do a recall, there will be no notification by mail.

HOT JULY SUN?

Could have said: " Both Photos are washed out due to the sun radiating 130 degree temps off of the rocks and cooking my internal organs as i snapped these picks."

You can cook an egg on a rock there in July.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

SERVICE VME
This message is being issued due to numerous inquiries on the availability of the revised luggage carrier side rails to correct the cracking condition on the front corners. Unfortunately it will be mid May when both the side rails and revised 'A' pillar moldings will be available to correct not only the cracks, but provide a better fit between the two parts. Any side rails replaced with the current stock could crack again, so if a customer agrees, it is best to postpone the repair. I will provide another message with the revised part numbers just as soon as they are available.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

The "I will provide" is from TAC to the dealer. If reported, your dealer should call or send a message. But I never wait for a dealer to contact me.
