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 Auto Additions, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 1,623 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, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a notice from Webasto. Consumers can check if their vehicle is affected by reviewing the affected vehicle list provided by Auto Additions, Inc., visiting Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or calling Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
