Defect:: Smart usa is recalling 43 my 2008 fortwo 451 vehicles. a single batch of paint sent to the company did not meet specifications. 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.
