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

Plain-English summary

MEKRA Lang North America, LLC is recalling certain Main Mirror Housings used in truck cabs. The recall addresses a defect involving improper adhesive bonding, which may cause the mirror glass to detach from the mirror carrier plate of the mirror assembly.

If the mirror glass detaches, the driver may experience reduced visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. The source notes that this issue appears similar to a defect reported by PACCAR under recall number 19V340, where MEKRA was reported as the supplier.

Mekra Lang has notified manufacturers, and their dealers will inspect and replace the mirrors free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact MEKRA Lang North America customer service at 1-803-337-5264 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
