This flying object can pose a danger to people that are anywhere in the vicinity of your vehicle, including drivers directly behind you. It can impair their vision causing them to crash into your vehicle, another vehicle, person, or another object. Due to the spoiler coming off of your car, insurance companies may try to hold you liable.

You can contact the company’s customer service department for more information. By staying on top of this, you will not only be protecting you and your family, but you will be doing your part to keep others on the road safe as well.
