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 and strike a trailing vehicle, causing a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury/property-damage reports.

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 M & M Automotive on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves a defect in the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame.

The adhesive bond 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, the manufacturer of the sunroofs, will be performing the safety recall campaign. 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, please review the list of vehicles provided by M & M Automotive or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
