(WEBASTO) IS RECALLING CERTAIN HOLLANDIA 700 AND 600 SERIES AND HOLLANDIA TVS 900 SERIES SUNROOFS INSTALLED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BY VIP DISTRIBUTING CO. 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. Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A SEPARATION, THE FALLING GLASS COULD CAUSE A ROAD HAZARD THAT RESULTS IN A VEHICLE CRASH OR COULD STRIKE A TRAILING VEHICLE. Remedy: 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 IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING SEPTEMBER 2010. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED, PLEASE REVIEW THE LIST OF VEHICLES PROVIDED TO US BY VIP DISTRIBUTING CO.
