For scale, 4,147 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 7 months.
Defect
On forklifts, inadequate production controls resulted in rearview mirrors being installed with mounting brackets of a shape that differs from the design specification.

On all vehicles, replace the rearview mirror bracket with the correct production part.
