Webasto is recalling certain sunroofs installed by Auto Outfitters because the glass can separate from the frame, creating a road hazard.

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 source text explicitly states that falling glass could cause a crash, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects.

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 Auto Outfitters on various passenger vehicles. The recall began on October 8, 2010.

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. 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.

Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if your vehicle is affected, review the list of vehicles provided by Auto Outfitters or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. You can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. Webasto will perform the corrective action for this safety recall.
