What this means for you

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 Southside Trim on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 781 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 would separate from the vehicle. Signs of gradual debonding may include metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, and water leakage.

If the glass separates, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign. Owners identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a notice from Webasto. The recall began on October 8, 2010. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the affected vehicle list provided by Southside Trim or visit Webasto's website. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
