Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2017 toyota rav4 in april and this incident happened in august. While driving on i15, i heard a loud explosion like a tire blowout followed by sounds of breaking glass and then wind. My sunroof had "exploded". I pulled off the road and examined the roof. There was no indication anything had struck the glass or my vehicle. The inside "visor" was closed at the time as was the sunroof. I had not passed under any overpass or other overhead structure i took the vehicle to the nearest dealer and they reported the incident to toyota. Toyota denied the "warranty" since i could not "prove" the glass had not been struck! The dealer replaced the glass at no cost "one time warranty". I am concerned this problem will reoccur since there was no cause determined. Photos attached

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.
