Porsche drivers in the US have just scored themselves a free pair of shades, simply for owning a Porsche.

It appears a defect in the manufacturer's dashboard colours has caused extra glare for motorists who opted for the Cognac, Luxor Beige, Natural Brown, Platinum Grey, or Sand Beige dashboard.

A class action lawsuit was brought against the company last year, with a settlement reached in December.

Motorists who owned any 2007-2016 Porsche, regardless of model, were entitled to $50 to $175 USD compensation if they bought sunglasses or made any relevant modifications.

Reports indicated that while there was some discomfort caused, no drivers were involved in any costly incidents as a result of the defect.
