## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

DRIVERS OF LARGE VEHICLES MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY JUDGING DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## The remedy

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.
