Filed: May 23, 2019

What is defective?

Safety Risk / Consequence

Tempered glass increases the risk of injury in the event of a side impact or rollover crash.

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."

Safety Risk / Consequence
