Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles were manufactured without an inside rearview mirror and with a right-hand convex exterior review mirror. These vehicles are required to have either an inside rearview mirror or both left and right-hand flat exterior rearview mirrors. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 111, "rearview mirrors."

Why it matters: If the driver does not have a clear unobstructed view to the back of the vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will instal a right-hand flat rearview mirror, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2016.
