Webasto Hollandia Recall 10V438: Sunroof Glass Bond

Recall 10V438 covers 351 Webasto Hollandia 600, Hollandia Tvs 900, and Hollandia 700 sunroofs with glass that can detach. Webasto handles the free repair.

Webasto is recalling 351 Hollandia 600, Hollandia Tvs 900, and Hollandia 700 sunroofs because the adhesive bond between the glass and metal frame can fail. If the glass separates, it can create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The Webasto Hollandia 600, Hollandia Tvs 900, and Hollandia 700 sunroof assemblies use a glass panel bonded to a metal frame. That bond holds the glass in place while the sunroof sits in the vehicle roof opening, seals out water, and moves as designed with the roof hardware.

On affected sunroofs, the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can separate. As the bond breaks down, the glass loses the attachment that keeps it secured to the frame. If the glass fully debonds, it can separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is in use.

This problem can develop gradually before full separation. Owners can notice metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, new wind noise, vibration from the roof area, visible separation between the glass and frame, or water leaking around the sunroof.

A matching Webasto Hollandia model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

A separated sunroof panel can fall from the vehicle, create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon if your vehicle has an included Hollandia sunroof. Repair will be free at any franchised Webasto dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm whether your vehicle has a Webasto Hollandia 600, Hollandia Tvs 900, or Hollandia 700 sunroof included in this recall.
  2. Review any Webasto recall notice mailed for this campaign and keep it with your vehicle records.
  3. Call Webasto at 1-888-749-8632 to ask about the free sunroof glass-to-frame repair that addresses adhesive debonding, wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, water leakage, or corrosion around the frame.
  4. Reference recall number 10V438 when you call Webasto or discuss the sunroof repair.
  5. Avoid driving with wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, water leakage, or corrosion around the sunroof frame until Webasto gives repair instructions.

What happens at the repair

Webasto is handling this recall for Hollandia 600, Hollandia 700, and Hollandia Tvs 900 sunroofs installed by Finish Line. The remedy text does not identify a specific shop procedure for the sunroof glass and frame bond. A Webasto technician or authorized repair location first confirms that the installed sunroof is included, then follows Webasto's recall instructions for the affected unit. The dealer repair will be free once available. Keep the recall notice with your service paperwork so the service desk can match the sunroof model to campaign 10V438.
