The problem
Vans equipped with the optional sunscreen rear glass which has less than 70 percent luminous transmittance and does not have a passenger side outside rearview mirror are not in compliance with fmvss 111, rear view mirrors. Consequence of defect: the drivers of these vans do not have the minimum field of vision required by fmvss 111. Without this minimum field of vision the driver cannot maneuver his vehicle safely and may cause an accident.
The fix
Install passenger side outside rearview mirror.
