WEBASTO HOLLANDIA TVS 900; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 600; 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 that were installed on various passenger vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can weaken and separate, potentially causing the sunroof glass to fall from the vehicle. If the glass separates while the vehicle is in motion, it could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. Warning signs of the problem include metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible separation of the bond, and water leakage.
Webasto began the recall on October 8, 2010, and will contact owners of affected vehicles with a safety recall notice. To determine if your vehicle is affected, you can review the affected vehicle list on Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632, or view the vehicle list provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The manufacturer will perform the required repairs as part of the recall campaign.
