Narrative:
Small aircraft X being radar vectored for runway 16R ILS at vny. Approach controller stated 'TA 12 O'clock, 1/2 mi opposite direction, same altitude.' we turned sharply to the right but never saw the other aircraft. About 10 seconds later approach said traffic no factor. I don't know why the controller didn't notice the other traffic or give us a warning when it was further away than just 1/2 mi!

Title: SMA X HAD CONFLICT WITH UNKNOWN VFR ACFT. SEE AND AVOID CONCEPT. EVASIVE ACTION TAKEN. CONFLICT WAS DURING VECTORS FOR APCH.
Narrative: SMA X BEING RADAR VECTORED FOR RWY 16R ILS AT VNY. APCH CTLR STATED 'TA 12 O'CLOCK, 1/2 MI OPPOSITE DIRECTION, SAME ALT.' WE TURNED SHARPLY TO THE R BUT NEVER SAW THE OTHER ACFT. ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER APCH SAID TFC NO FACTOR. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CTLR DIDN'T NOTICE THE OTHER TFC OR GIVE US A WARNING WHEN IT WAS FURTHER AWAY THAN JUST 1/2 MI!
