Car was parked in a driveway in a mostly-shaded spot. 78 F degree day. No extreme weather conditions. Found rear window had exploded/shattered. Window bowed outward as if pressure came from inside the car or from the edges of the window. No prior damage or issues with rear window prior to this. Police came to scene and drew same conclusion that window had exploded/shattered and must be result of a defect. A hole was present and the enter window had shatter patterns, including all around the edges. Thankfully, we were not driving or in motion when it happened, or it could have resulted in injury to passengers or a car behind me.
