Filing in context
The Rearview Mirror is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 24 Isuzu notifications from 2025 in this archive. For scale, 4,719 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 12 years and 1 month.
Defect
The rearview mirrors were designed to incorrect specifications. As a result, (1) some left-side exterior rearview mirrors have an insufficient mirror surface radius of curvature, and (2) some interior rearview mirrors (convex type) have an insufficient mirror surface width. These conditions may cause the vehicle to fail to meet the structural requirements for single-operator bus service.
Corrective action
Replace the rearview mirrors on all affected vehicles with corrected parts.
