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 Chuck's Tops & Trim, Inc. on various passenger vehicles.

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 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, 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 should review the list of vehicles provided by Chuck's Tops & Trim, Inc. or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
