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 Columbus Car Audio on various passenger vehicles. The recall affects 333 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, the falling glass could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign. Owners of affected vehicles will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. Consumers can check if their vehicle is affected by reviewing the provided list, visiting Webasto's website, or calling Webasto toll-free.
