Ram 3500 4WD Diesel

Stress fracture in passenger mirror and driver mirror. Heard from dealer that this has been a problem, but do not see it listed anywhere. Has happened to me in each mirror separately. First time while using the mirror defogger, 2nd time while just driving down the road. The mirrors just crack up the middle and the sound is like someone has thrown a rock at your vehicle.
