“Dt: the contact stated both side exterior rear view mirrors did not provide sufficient driver visibility. He took the vehicle to the dealer, who suggested replacing the mirrors with larger exterior mirrors for extended model van. The dealer attempted to replace the mirrors with larger ones, but the larger mirrors would not attach properly to the doors. He contacted the manufacturer in an effort to resolve the matter. The manufacturer stated he would need to replace the standard doors with a larger model they offered.”
