The risk
If the windshield roller shade unrolls while driving, it could block the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
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.
