The problem
Vehicle description: motor homes. The driver's and passenger's side windows do not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 205, "Glazing materials," for an acceptable level of tint.
The risk
This condition could cause the driver reduced visibility through the side windows when backing up, when using the mirrors for lane changes, or whenever looking through the windows, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE WINDOWS.
