WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 600; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA TVS 900; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700
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 installed 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. If this occurs, the falling glass could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and potentially cause a crash. Gradual debonding may show warning signs including metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible separation of the bond, or water leakage.
The manufacturer began this safety recall on October 8, 2010. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if your vehicle is affected, you can review the affected vehicle list online, visit www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. Webasto will perform the safety recall campaign, though the record does not specify what remedy or repair will be provided.
