2007 6.7l 1 ton-window rear window blew out

Last night while driving home, the rear window of my Dad's 2007 6.7 litre 1 ton blew out. Nothing hit the window and it blew out from the inside out. Sounded like a rifle shot when it happened. The one ton has an aluminum deck with headache rack. Started with a 24 x 6" (w x h) section in the middle and then got progressively worse. As there was nothing Dad could do in the middle of nowhere, he continued to drive home. He will be contacting the dealer today. Has this had happened to anyone else and what was your experience? And what caused this to happen? Thanks in advance.
