Some vehicles may exhibit power outer mirror(s) that do not completely fold in and/or out.
NOTE: This concern is unrelated to frozen mirrors in icy weather where snow or ice need to be removed for the mirrors to fold in and/or out.
This concern may be caused by the following:
- The space between the mirror frame and the inner base may be too tight to allow for proper movement.
- Due to insufficient water tightness, water enters the electric fold-in unit and results in corrosion damage.
- The friction around the folding mechanism shaft may become increased.
To eliminate this concern, the following mass-production changes have been implemented:
- The hole (1) in the mirror frame connected to the inner base has been enlarged.
- The overlapping area (2) of the water-proof seal (inside electric fold-in unit) has been extended.
- The washer material has been improved and an additional washer has been added to the shaft.
