What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN VANS SUPPLIED TO FEDEX, THE ROTARY LATCHES ON THE TWO SIDE SLIDING DOORS AND SLIDING PARTITION DOOR CAN FAIL.

The risk

THIS COULD CAUSE THE ROTARY LATCH TO NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED RESULTING IN THE DOOR REMAINING IN THE UNLATCHED OPEN POSITION.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL ROTARY LATCHES ON THE FEDEX FLEET PRODUCTION RUN. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT UCBC AT 1-888-990-8222.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
