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 Auto Sunroof Co. Inc. on various passenger vehicles.

The defect involves the adhesive bond between the 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 create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Owners 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 Auto Sunroof Co. Inc., visit Webasto's website, or call Webasto toll-free.
