The problem

The rear view mirrors on each side of these vehicles have thirty-nine square inches of reflective surface, less than the fifty square inches required by fmvss 111.

The risk

Reduced reflective area on outside rear view mirrorsreduces the driver's apparent area of visibility in the rear of the truck. Thisreduced area of visibility increases the likelihood of vehicle collision.

The fix

REPLACE THE NON-CONFORMING REAR VIEW MIRRORS.
