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 Dealer Value Services on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 185 affected units.

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 will 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 fall and create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a notice from Webasto. The recall began on October 8, 2010. Consumers can check if their vehicle is affected by reviewing the provided list, visiting Webasto's website, or calling their toll-free number.
