What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

US Specs is recalling one 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera, one 1997 BMW 750IL, and two 1986 BMW 635 CSI vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled because they fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

The defect involves labels with an incorrect size font applied to the passenger side mirror during conformity-related modifications for the US market. This labeling error may prevent drivers from knowing the proximity of objects in the passenger side mirror, which increases the risk of a crash.

US Specs will notify owners and correct the statement on the passenger mirror of the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began on April 22, 2013. Owners may contact US Specs at 1-443-502-2331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
