Webasto is recalling certain sunroofs installed by Jeffco Auto Trim and Glass because the adhesive bond may 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 may separate from the vehicle, 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 sunroofs were installed as original equipment by Jeffco Auto Trim and Glass on various passenger vehicles. The recall began on October 8, 2010.

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. Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may be evidenced by metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, and/or water leakage.

In the event of a separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, causing a crash. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the list of vehicles provided by Jeffco Auto Trim and Glass, visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. Webasto will perform the corrective action for this safety recall campaign.
