## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2016\-2017 Chevrolet Suburban HD vehicles.   These vehicles were assembled with a convex right\-hand outside mirror, instead of with a non\-convex \(flat\) right\-hand outside mirror.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."


## What can happen

If equipped with the incorrect right\-side rear\-view mirror, the driver may misjudge the distance of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the convex mirror with a non\-convex mirror and provide a new page for the owner's manual with the customer notification letter, free of charge.  The recall began February 7, 2017.  Owners may contact GM customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.  GM's number for this recall is 17017.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
