The problem
The outside rear view mirrors do not meet the 50 square inch minimum requirement of fmvss 111-rearview mirrors. Consequence of defect: the standard requires a minimum dimension for rearview mirrors to provide adequate field of vision which aids in preventing accidents.
The fix
Replace outside rear view mirrors with unit magnification mirrors of 9" x 6" reflective surface dimensions.
