Plain-English summary
Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 Series and Hollandia TVS 900 Series sunroofs. These sunroofs were installed as original equipment by Precision Auto Upholstery, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 221 affected vehicles.
The adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing the risk that the glass will separate from the vehicle. Complete separation can develop gradually and may be indicated by metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage. If the glass separates, it could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.
Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto.
