Official summary
WEBASTO IS RECALLING CERTAIN HOLLANDIA 700 AND 600 SERIES AND HOLLANDIA TVS 900 SERIES SUNROOFS SOLD AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS PASSENGER VEHICLES.

THESE CONDITIONS MAY BE OBSERVABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE COMPLETE GLASS-TO-FRAME ADHESION DEBONDING CAN ULTIMATELY OCCUR.
Official consequence
