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 The Auto Boutique on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 267 affected units.
The defect involves the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame, which can debond and increase the risk that the glass will separate from the vehicle. Complete separation may develop gradually and can be evidenced by 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 should review the affected vehicle list provided by The Auto Boutique or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
