What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect where glass can separate from the vehicle, creating a risk of crash or injury to trailing vehicles, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities.

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 Rod's Custom Body Shop, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 321 affected units.

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 will separate from the vehicle. Signs of this issue may include metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage. If the glass separates, it could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.

Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The recall began on October 8, 2010.
