DaimlerChrysler Corporation Recalls 2006-2007 Ram 3500

Make / Models :           Model/Build Years:     
     Dodge / Ram 3500       2006-2007
 
Manufacturer : DaimlerChrysler Corporation  
 
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06V380000  Mfg's Report Date : OCT 03, 2006

Component: Visibility:rearview mirrors/devices

Potential Number Of Units Affected : 309

Summary:
 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. 

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

Remedy:
 Dealers will replace the right outside convex mirror glass with a flat mirror glass free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before October 9, 2006. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
