What happened

Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 series and Hollandia TVS 900 series sunroofs that were originally installed by Don's Auto Upholstery on various passenger vehicles. 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 the vehicle is moving, it could fall and create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, or cause a crash. Warning signs of a failing bond include metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible separation of the bond, or water leakage.

To determine if your vehicle is affected, you should review the affected vehicle list available at the hyperlink provided in the recall record or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. You can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto, and the manufacturer will perform the recall repair.
