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 ATD of Siouxland on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 93 affected vehicles.

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 could 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. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the affected vehicle list provided by ATD of Siouxland, visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
