Webasto Sunroof Recall: Glass May Separate From Vehicle Frame

Webasto is recalling certain Hollandia sunroofs because the adhesive bond may fail, allowing the glass to separate from the vehicle and create 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 strike a trailing vehicle and 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 installed as original equipment on various passenger vehicles. The defect involves the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame, which can debond and increase 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. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof installed in their vehicle will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto.
