The problem

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 rod's custom body shop, inc. 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.

Webasto, the manufacturer of the sunroofs, will be performing the safety recall campaign.
