While vehicle was parked, the temperature in the 30s-40s, I remote started it twice to warm it up. When I went out to load my things in the cab, I opened then closed the back driver side door and the rear glass exploded.

My rear glass broke yesterday with my two year old daughter in the back seat. I was informed that there was a previous recall on this and its now closed. If you look in the attached photos you can see it appears the rear defrost is what caused it to shatter.
