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 Air Company on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing the risk that the glass will separate from the vehicle.

Signs of this defect may develop gradually and can include metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, and water leakage. If the glass separates, it could fall and create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, or cause a crash.

Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a specific vehicle is affected, owners should review the affected vehicle list provided by Auto Air Company or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Webasto will perform the corrective action for this safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010.
