Description of the problem | Visor on driver side broke while driver was attempting to put it down to block the sun. When it broke, it dangled in front of the driver and blocked the driver's vision of the road. Fortunately, the driver was able to grab the visor and hold it out of the way and regain sight of the road before causing an accident. The supporting metal arm separated at the point where the wire for the mirror light exits the arm. It would appear that there was a defect in the design and the casting. *nlm |
