What's wrong?
The Webasto Hollandia 700, Hollandia 600, and Hollandia Tvs 900 sunroofs use a glass panel seated in a metal frame. That frame holds the glass in place while the roof opening handles wind, vibration, water, and body movement during normal driving. The adhesive bond between the glass and frame is the part that keeps the panel attached.
On affected sunroofs, that adhesive bond can debond. As the bond separates, the glass loses its secure attachment to the metal frame. If the separation becomes complete, the sunroof glass can separate from the vehicle, which creates a road hazard for other drivers.
The recall describes several warning signs before complete separation. Owners can notice metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, new wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, or water leaking around the sunroof.

A matching Hollandia model name does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the sunroof glass separates, falling glass creates a road hazard or strikes a trailing vehicle, increasing crash risk. If your sunroof is included, avoid highway driving until the repair path is confirmed. Repair will be free at any franchised Webasto dealer once available.
