Published May 25, 2026

Recall 18V135 affects 72 2016-2017 Acg Moke vehicles with non-laminated windshields. Repair will be free at any franchised Acg dealer once available.

Acg is recalling 72 2016-2017 Moke low-speed vehicles because their windshields were built without laminated glazing, which fails federal glazing rules. In a crash, a shattered non-laminated windshield can increase injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once Acg makes the remedy available.

What's wrong?

The windshield on the 2016-2017 Acg Moke is the front glazing panel in the low speed vehicle. It protects occupants from wind and debris, and it is required to use laminated glazing, a glass construction designed to stay together better when it breaks.

The recall concerns windshields that were marked or supplied as compliant AS-1 glazing but were actually AS-2 tempered glazing, or were not labeled correctly. Tempered glazing breaks differently from laminated glazing and can shatter instead of staying bonded in a laminate. The problem came from kit-supplied windshield parts, and assembly staff did not have instructions that showed the difference between the windshield types.

There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not expect a light, sound, or handling change from the windshield before a break happens. The visible clue is the windshield marking: the replacement windshield is properly marked AS-1 glazing.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

A non-laminated windshield can shatter in a crash and increase the risk of injury. There is no warning sign to rely on, so confirm whether your 2016-2017 Moke is included and arrange the windshield inspection. Repair will be free at any franchised Acg dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2017 Acg Moke is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Acg's repair notice before scheduling windshield service.
  3. Call Acg customer service at 1-909-597-2885 with questions and reference recall number 18V135 when you call.
  4. Ask about the free windshield inspection and AS-1 windshield replacement that fixes the non-laminated windshield issue.
  5. Bring the recall notice if Acg mailed one.

What happens at the repair

The final dealer repair is still listed as under development. Once Acg opens the repair, an Acg technician will inspect the windshield and replace any windshield that lacks the proper AS-1 labeling. Parts and labor will be free under the recall once the repair is available. Acg also has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related windshield repair. Keep your repair paperwork and ask Acg customer service how to submit documentation under that plan.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 18V135?

Recall 18V135 covers 72 2016-2017 Acg Moke vehicles built with windshields that lack laminated glazing. That means the vehicles fail Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 205 and 500. Acg dealers will inspect the windshield and replace any windshield that is not labeled AS-1 for free.

What should I do if my 2016-2017 Acg Moke is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific Moke is included in recall 18V135. If it is, contact a franchised Acg dealer or Acg customer service and ask for the windshield inspection. Reference recall number 18V135 when you call. The inspection and required replacement are free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. For recall 18V135, Acg dealers will inspect the windshield and replace any windshield that is not properly labeled AS-1 free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The risk is injury from a windshield that shatters in a crash. The recalled Moke vehicles were built with windshields that lack laminated glazing, so broken glass can increase injury risk. The fix is a free dealer inspection and replacement if the windshield is not properly labeled AS-1.

What if I bought my Acg Moke used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2016-2017 Acg Moke is included, then reference recall 18V135 when you contact the dealer or Acg customer service.
