Visibility / Rearview Mirrors/Devices / Exterior
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vans equipped with the optional sunscreen rear glass which has less than 70 percent luminous transmittance and does not have a passenger side outside rearview mirror are not in compliance with FMVSS 111, rear view mirrors. Consequence of defect: the drivers of these vans do not have the minimum field of vision required by FMVSS 111. Without this minimum field of vision the driver cannot maneuver his vehicle safely and may cause an accident.

Defect, in the NHTSA record
Roadway stones may become lodged in the height sensing brake proportioning valve. This may cause the proportioning valve to fail. Consequence of defect: proportioning valve malfunction results in increased stopping distances during hard braking with a light load and may cause an accident.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Clear proportioning valve of stones and install a protective cover to prevent stones from entering.
Report filed by CHRYSLER CORPORATION.
