Dealers should be aware that the power folding mirrors on the above
vehicles may not be set in the full locked position due to movement during
transport. It will be necessary for the dealer to cycle the power mirror switch
on the driver's side door panel in order to fully implement the detent feature
of these mirrors (the mirror housing must be fully retracted inboard and then
extended to its outboard position to lock the mirror in place).
Some dealers and transport companies have manually placed these mirrors
in the outward position, assuming they were fixed in place. If this is done,
the mirrors could fold inward when the vehicle is at highway speeds. DO NOT
replace these mirrors. You need only to cycle the power mirrors in and out
by using the power mirror switch.
