What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the sunroof glass can separate from the vehicle, creating a road hazard or striking a trailing vehicle and causing a crash.
Plain-English summary
Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 series and Hollandia TVS 900 series sunroofs. These sunroofs were installed as original equipment by Coffman Auto Glass on various passenger vehicles.
The defect involves the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame, which can debond and increase the risk that the sunroof glass would separate from the vehicle. Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may be evidenced by metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, and/or water leakage.
In the event of a separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the list of vehicles provided by Coffman Auto Glass, visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
