What is wrong
Karma Automotive LLC (Karma) is recalling certain 2018 Karma Revero vehicles. The driver's side exterior rearview mirrors may be made with convex, not flat glass. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
What can happen
When using the incorrect rearview mirrors, the driver may fail to realize how close a vehicle or object actually is, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Karma has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver side exterior rearview mirror, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2018. Owners may contact Karma customer service at 1-855-288-6109. Karma's number for this recall is RC-18-78-01.
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.
