What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2016-2017 Chevrolet Express vans and 2016 GMC Savana cargo and cutaway vans because they were manufactured without an inside rearview mirror and with only a right-hand convex exterior mirror. These vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards that require either an inside rearview mirror or both left and right-hand flat exterior mirrors, which can reduce the driver's visibility to the back of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners of the affected vehicles, and dealers will install a right-hand flat rearview mirror at no charge. The recall began on November 8, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 to schedule an appointment, referencing recall number 16036.
