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 C & C Top Shop, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves approximately 2,996 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.

If the glass separates, it could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, or cause a crash.
