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 as original equipment on various passenger vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can weaken and separate, which could cause the sunroof glass to fall from the vehicle. This falling glass could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. Signs of this problem may include metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual separation of the bond, or water leakage.
