Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The west coast mirrors don't extend far enough from the sides of the truck. A driver can't adjust these mirror arms to sufficiently observe traffic in the lane immediately behind the truck. I have over 45 yrs experience & know how to properly adjust mirrors. If adjusted to observe far enough back in the adjacent lane, 1/2 the mirror space is the nose of the trailer and side of the cab. At this position you can't see the rear marker light of the trailer! To find the rear trailer marker light the driver must lean hard to the left when looking in the mirror. …”
