Irvine Shade & Door recall: Visibility
What is wrong
Irvine Shade & Door, Inc. (Irvine) is recalling certain Windshield Motor Shades. The motorized windshield roller shade at the driver's seating position may unroll without warning while driving.
What could happen
If the windshield roller shade unrolls while driving, it could block the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Irvine will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the shades, and dealers for those manufacturers will install a fastener to ensure the motor will not allow the shade to roll down while driving, free of charge. Owners may contact Irvine customer service at 1-574-522-1446.
