Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 series and Hollandia TVS 900 series sunroofs that were installed on various passenger vehicles by VIP Distributing Co. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can fail, which could cause the sunroof glass to separate from the vehicle. If the glass separates while driving, it could fall onto the road, creating a hazard that could cause a crash or strike a trailing vehicle. Signs of potential failure include metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible separation of the bond, or water leakage.
According to the recall record, Webasto will be performing the safety campaign. Owners of affected vehicles will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto.
