ELECTROCHROMIC REARVIEW MIRROR VIBRATION (REPLACE MIRROR)

SUBJECT: ELECTROCHROMIC REARVIEW MIRROR (DD8) VIBRATION (REPLACE MIRROR)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1993 "C/E/K" MODELS

Some 1993 Eldorados built before VIN PU604954, Sevilles built before VIN PU808996, and DeVilles/Sixty Specials may exhibit a rear view mirror vibration when equipped with the electrochromicmirror (DD8). A mirror, if removed for some reason, may alsoexhibit a vibration upon reinstallation due to a loss of spring tension. The condition is more likely to occur on the STS, ETC,and Sixty Special vehicles due to their stiffer suspensions.

To repair a comment of electrochromic rear view mirror vibration, replace the mirror with new part number 25618599. The retention spring in the mirror base has been stiffened on this part providing a tighter fit to the mirror support to eliminate vibration.
