The problem
On the invovled vehicles the driver"s side and passenger"s outside rear view mirrors may have been omitted. This fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, "Rearview mirrors".
The fix
Dealer will install the proper mirrors without charge to owner. If outside mirrors have already been installed, owner has the option to keep them as is or have them removed and new mirrors installed.
