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 Blue Sky Custom Automotive Restylers on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing the risk that the sunroof glass would separate from the vehicle.

Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may be evidenced by metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, and/or water leakage. In the event of a separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.

Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof installed in their vehicle will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the list of vehicles provided by Blue Sky or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
