Webasto recall: Visibility
What is wrong
Webasto product north america, inc. (webasto) is recalling certain hollandia 700 and 600 series and hollandia tvs 900 series sunroofs installed as original equipment by custom vehicle outfitters on various passenger vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can debond increasing the risk that the sunroof glass would separate from the vehicle. Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually and may be evidenced by metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation and/or water leakage.
What could happen
In the event of a separation, the falling glass could create a road hazard or strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.

Webasto, the manufacturer of the sunroofs, will be performing the safety recall campaign. Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof installed in their vehicle will receive a safety recall notice from webasto. The safety recall began on october 8, 2010.
