Recall 06V-380: 2006–2007 Dodge RAM 3500

The problem

Certain trucks fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 111, "rear view mirrors". The right outside rear view mirror glass has a curved (Convex) mirror glass installed instead of flat glass. Curved glass creates a wider view, but displays images further away than they actually are.

The risk

Drivers of large vehicles may have difficulty judging distance relationships, which could cause a crash without prior warning.

The fix

Dealers will replace the right outside convex mirror glass with a flat mirror glass free of charge. The recall began on october 10, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
