Plain-English summary

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 Series and Hollandia TVS 900 Series sunroofs installed as original equipment by ASC/San Diego on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where 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 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 will perform 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, review the list of vehicles provided to NHTSA by ASC/San Diego or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
