What happened

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 by Automotive Elegance 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 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 bond separation, and water leakage.

To determine if your vehicle is affected, you should check the affected vehicle list provided by Webasto by visiting www.sunroofcheck.com or calling Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. Webasto will perform the safety recall on affected vehicles, and owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. The recall campaign began on October 8, 2010.
