Plain-English summary

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 Series and Hollandia TVS 900 Series sunroofs that were installed as original equipment by Accessories Unlimited on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 524 affected units.

The defect involves the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame, which can debond. This increases the risk that the sunroof glass will separate from the vehicle. Signs of this issue may include 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, and cause 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 Accessories Unlimited or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
