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 Galvin Glass on various passenger vehicles.
The defect involves the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame, which can debond. This increases the risk that the sunroof glass will separate from the vehicle. Complete 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 separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the affected vehicle list provided by Galvin Glass, visit Webasto's website, or call Webasto toll-free.
