WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 600; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA TVS 900
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 by Erickson Auto Trim. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can fail, which could cause the sunroof glass to separate from the vehicle. If this happens while driving, the falling glass could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. The glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may show warning signs including metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, and water leakage.
Webasto began the recall on October 8, 2010, and will contact owners with affected sunroofs directly with a safety recall notice. To find out if your vehicle is affected, you can review the affected vehicle list on the NHTSA website, visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632.
