WEBASTO HOLLANDIA TVS 900; WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700; 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 installed as original equipment by ZTECH Automotive Improvements on various passenger vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can weaken and separate, creating a risk that the sunroof glass could detach from the vehicle. If separation occurs, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle and cause a crash. The debonding can develop gradually and may show signs including metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, and water leakage.
The safety recall began on October 8, 2010. Owners with affected sunroofs will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if your vehicle is affected, you can review the affected vehicle list online, visit www.sunroofcheck.com, or call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. The record does not specify what remedy Webasto will provide.
