Details

What's wrong: The driver's side exterior rearview mirrors may be made with convex, not flat glass. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 111, "rearview mirrors."

Why it matters: When using the incorrect rearview mirrors, the driver may fail to realize how close a vehicle or object actually is, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Karma has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver side exterior rearview mirror, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2018.
