“Faulty cover on illuminated vanity mirror: 1. The design of the cover for the illuminated vanity mirror on the mercedes benz 2002 e320 is faulty leading to the cover breaking off easily during normal use. The danger created by the breaking off of the cover is that when the sun visor is pulled down to protect against sun glare, the exposed mirror creates a dangerous distraction to the driver. …”
