Plain-English summary

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 Series and Hollandia TVS 900 Series sunroofs. These units were installed as original equipment by Truck & Auto Elegance 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 will separate from the vehicle. Signs of gradual debonding may include metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage.

If the glass separates, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Owners identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the affected vehicle list provided by Truck & Auto Elegance, visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
