What this means for you

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 S&C Automotive on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 577 affected units.

The adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing the risk that the glass will separate from the vehicle. This 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, or cause a crash.

Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners with an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto.
