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 Sunroofs of Columbia 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 of affected vehicles will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The recall began on October 8, 2010. Consumers can check if their vehicle is affected by reviewing the affected vehicle list provided by Sunroofs of Columbia, visiting Webasto's website, or calling Webasto toll-free.
