Scion tC recall over shattering wind deflector !!!
Toyota said the wind deflector tilts up when the moonroof is opened and could shatter when struck by road debris and separate from the frame at highway speeds. In the worst case, pieces of the wind deflector could fall onto motorists inside the vehicle, causing injuries or distractions.
Toyota said there have been three reports filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Customers could reduce the likelihood of the deflector shattering by not opening the moonroof until the vehicle is repaired, Toyota said.
Dealers will repair the vehicles at no charge to the owners, the automaker said.
Make sure to get your car checked!!

Who's dumb enough to drive 80+ mph on the highway with the sunroof open? That's screaming "waste-of-gas."
