What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the sunroof glass can 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 Hampton Roads Sunroofs on various passenger vehicles. The recall began on October 8, 2010.
The adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can debond, increasing 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, and cause a crash. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof installed in their vehicle will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if your vehicle is affected, review the list of vehicles provided by Hampton Roads Sunroofs or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. You can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
