Service VME - Updated Outside Rear View Mirrors
2003-2005 HUMMER H2

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

SERVICE VME
The outside rear view mirrors have been redesigned for the 2006 HUMMER H2 and are much improved over those used on prior models. Should you have the need to replace a mirror on a 2003-2005 H2, replace both mirrors with the 2006 parts which are a slightly different design. Also, the new mirrors are all chrome, there is no black version. I’m sure this would be fine for most customers. The new part numbers are 15835056 left and 15835057 right.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed

My '05 was in about a month ago for the mirror problem, so it must still be a bug even in the newer models (though mine is an EARLY 2005, before tire carrier and auto sunroof were standard [can I say the tire carrier fell off and I need a new one and get it under warranty? ]). Anyway, I do notice they vibrate at highway speeds and are quite noisy, but is that enough to get them replaced under warranty?

I went to Los Gatos Hummer (Silicon Valley Hummer)and they said they will only replace the mirror that is bad.
(My right mirror is bad) They said if I wanted to pay for the left 06 mirror they would replace the right mirror with the 06 version.
I said I'd pass they're way over priced on most parts.
I'll wait until the mirror goes out again and see what happen.

having my techs work on 3-4 issues with my rig including mirrors on friday...im going to look into this< as I actually preffer the new style

[Hummertech]

I was only half correct in my earlier statement.
It turns out this is not a nationwide bulletin. This was more of a regional bulletin issued by our warranty rep. So we have been told to do that. Maybe other reps in the country are doing the same. But some places may not be doing that.

I finally saw the new mirrors today at the dealership. Well. . .everyone has different tastes, so for those that like them, that's fine. I think they look chinsy and cheap; like they were trying just a little too hard to find another place to put the logo. Guess I better take good care of the ones I've got.

I tried to get my mirrors but since they were already replaced under warranty once, it was a no go.

Anyone know how much a new set is? I took them apart and can stop them from vibrating but the fix won't allow them to fold in electrically.

I'll price out a new set.

Thanks for the info guys.

Another fine GM improvement on a classicly styled vehicle.

They will **** it up further as time goes on.

Hold onto your 03's

[AHels]

Sooo.. General consensus is what? Should I swap my '06 mirrors for some older '05 models or stick with the new design cause the '05's will blow up and...

Must say I don't much care for the new look, but if they are better than the older ones I'll live with them.

I went to my dealer 3 months ago and he told me about this, geez I thought South Dakota was the last to hear stuff, I guess not. The mirrors are not a recall, just a bulletin from what he told me. If your factory warranty is over, it wont be covered. All it is saying is if a H2 comes in with a bad mirror, they will replace it not fix it. If you own a extended warranty then if they quit working, then it would cost you the deductable.

Thanks Hummertech, I'll give it a try when I pick it up tomorrow. I know its a prob cause I've had them replaced before under warranty on my H2 & theirs. We'll see if K.B. comes through for me tomorrow - they wouldn't for my wife the other day.

[4churchill]

Would love to see how it comes out....

[MUH_HUM]

hoping it's the cold weather we have but my 05 mirrors are starting to act up....Do I hang tight until they fall off, or do a dealer visit now.....

Me, I'll wait until they fall off inside of the warranty time.

My passenger side has stopped working all the time, but I'm still not a fan of the new 06 Mirrors. There's too much black on them.

If you like the black mirrors you can always do what DRTY did. He rattle canned them.

[4churchill]

Damn just found out I have a few more weeks of waiting....the suspense .......I will keep everyone updated!!

[ScottH]

I took mine in for the passenger side mirror not folding in and they replaced em with the new style mirrors. IMO, I think they do look better than the old style ones.

[Goalkeeper]

Has anyone Purchased 06 mirros? If so, how much?

Thanks in advance...
