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.

Plain-English summary

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 Series and Hollandia TVS 900 Series sunroofs that were installed as original equipment by Finish Line on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame can debond. This separation may develop gradually and can be evidenced by metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage.

If the glass separates completely, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Webasto is performing the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto.
