Description of the problem	Hello, windshield cracked again on my 2019 subaru forester. There was a loud clicking sound after i started the engine and a huge horizontal crack appeared on the passenger side of the windshield. Please see the pictures attached below. It is a second sudden windshield crack in two years of ownership! This issue is becoming a real frustration due to the poor quality of the glass and unreasonably high cost to replace it and recalibrate the eye-sight. I am aware that the new class-action lawsuit has been filed against subaru covering the new forester sk 2019+ for the sudden windshield cracks. That proves that i am not alone. What are the reasons why the recall was not issued yet? Previous windshield replacement was covered by subaru due to a well-known glass defect that traces back to 2015. Thank you for your time. Best regards, ml
