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 Ztech Automotive Improvements on various passenger vehicles. The recall involves 26 affected vehicles.
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, it 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 of affected vehicles will receive a notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners can review the affected vehicle list provided by Ztech Automotive Improvements or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com.
