Details

What's wrong: Certain trucks fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 111, "rear view mirrors". The right outside rear view mirror glass has a curved (convex) mirror glass installed instead of flat glass. Curved glass creates a wider view, but displays images further away than they actually are.

Why it matters: Drivers of large vehicles may have difficulty judging distance relationships, which could cause a crash without prior warning.

The fix: Dealers will replace the right outside convex mirror glass with a flat mirror glass free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2006.
