On certain vehicles, material used in the construction of the windshield sunshade, sold as an optional accessory, may not meet the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 302 - Flammability of Interior Materials. The sunshade's inner core material could burn faster than allowable by the standard. Note: The exterior material, exposed in normal use, meets the requirements of the standard. Correction: A production change was made to add a flame resistant coating to the interior corrugated plastic layer to remedy this non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
