Webasto is recalling certain sunroofs installed by Solar Vision because the adhesive bond may fail, allowing the glass to separate from the vehicle.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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, posing a risk of crashing a trailing vehicle or creating a road hazard, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury/property-damage reports.

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 Solar Vision on various passenger vehicles.

The defect involves the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame, which can debond. This increases the risk that the sunroof glass would separate from the vehicle. Complete 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, causing a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the list of vehicles provided by Solar Vision or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
