What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Morgan Olson Corporation (Morgan Olson) is recalling certain model year 2014 Service Body trucks built on Sprinter cab chassis manufactured April 11, 2014, to December 18, 2014. The affected vehicles may have the rear identification lamps mounted below the doors. Also, the license plate illumination lamp may be mounted incorrectly which may result in incomplete illumination of the license plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

If the rear identification lamps and the license plate lamp are not mounted correctly, the vehicle may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The remedy

Morgan Olson will notify owners, and dealers will modify the trucks to add rear identification lights above the door, and remount the license plate lamp, free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2015. Owners may contact Morgan Olson customer service at 1-800-262-3437.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
