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, posing a significant risk of injury or property damage to trailing vehicles.

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 Cyclone Auto Seat Cover on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 380 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 would 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, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, potentially causing a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, which began on October 8, 2010. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the affected vehicle list provided by Cyclone Auto Seat Cover, visit Webasto's website, or call Webasto toll-free.
