What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the sunroof glass can separate, posing a significant risk of injury or property damage to trailing vehicles.

Plain-English summary

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 series and Hollandia TVS 900 series sunroofs installed as original equipment on various passenger vehicles. The defect involves the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame, which can debond and increase 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.

Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof installed in their vehicle will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. To determine if your vehicle is affected, review the list of vehicles provided by the installer or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
