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 Uni-Sun, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing the risk that the sunroof glass would separate from the vehicle.
Complete glass-to-frame 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 a separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.
Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the list of vehicles provided by Uni-Sun, Inc. or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
