Description of the problem	While commuting home from work in late afternoon, roughly 6:30 p. M. Of 9/26/18 the panoramic sunroof of my 2017 hyundai azera spontaneously exploded from the inside out followed by shattering and glass debris to be expelled from my vehicle onto the interstate and most likely vehicles driving directly behind me. The weather condition was sunny with a temperature around 80 degrees. I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway driving at 60 mph when suddenly i heard a loud "pop" that sounded as if a gunshot went off in my vehicle. The sound was deafening and extremely startling only to then be followed by the sound of breaking glass and air being sucked out. It took me a moment to get my bearings as i thought my back windshield must have been hit by a stray bullet somehow. Once assessing the back windshield through my rearview mirror i realized it was not damaged and the sucking air sound and glass breaking off was from overhead. My sunshade was thankfully closed but the exposed whole in the glass must have created a vacuum so the fabric began to pull upward. I was able to maintain control of my vehicle even though shaken by the incident and exited the highway as quickly/safely as possible to seek a public parking lot that i could stop at and safely exit my car to assess the damage. I found that my sunroof had indeed spontaneously exploded at the center where glass was visibly blown upward and from the explosion fractured/shattered glass was throughout the entire glass sunroof panel at that point. I began necessary steps with my insurance and notifying the dealership of the incident. I was given a service date of 10/2/18 nearly a week later and was not provided a loaner vehicle to drive in the interim. I was told to cover with a tarp or trashbags and tape down to contain the remaining glass so i did not cause additional road hazards until the vehicle could be serviced.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
