Webasto Sunroof Recall: Glass May Separate From Vehicle Frame

Webasto is recalling certain sunroofs installed by Texas Auto Trim because the adhesive bond can fail, causing the glass to separate from the vehicle.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the sunroof glass can separate from the vehicle, posing a risk of striking a trailing vehicle and causing a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury/property-damage reports.

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 Texas Auto Trim on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves approximately 2,495 units.

The defect involves the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame, which can debond. This 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 completely, it could fall from the vehicle, creating a road hazard or striking a trailing vehicle and 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.
