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 Mark Faries Top & Trim, Inc. on various passenger vehicles.

Signs of this issue may include metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage.
