SSM 54468

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Some 2026 Transit vehicles equipped with power folding mirrors may exhibit mirror housing looseness and/or vibrate while driving.

Manual movement of the mirrors can disengage the mirror housing from the motor, resulting in excessive movement. Synchronization of the mirrors may be required to resolve the condition. The Power Mirrors Synchronization procedure has been added to the Workshop Manual, Section 501-09 Rear View Mirrors > General Procedures that is referenced in the Diagnosis and Testing section for this condition.
