WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA TVS 900; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 600
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 originally installed on various passenger vehicles by Auto Trim Design of Central VA, Inc. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can weaken and separate, which could cause the sunroof glass to break free from the vehicle. If the glass separates while the vehicle is in use, it could fall onto the road or strike a trailing vehicle, creating a crash hazard. Signs of a failing sunroof bond include metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visible separation at the bond, or water leakage.
The recall began on October 8, 2010, and Webasto will contact owners identified as having an affected sunroof. To determine if your vehicle is affected, you can review the list of affected vehicles online, visit www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. The source does not specify what remedy will be provided once you contact Webasto.
