- Problem
- 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.

- 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.

What this recall means for you
On certain 2014 service body trucks built on Sprinter cab chassis between April 11 and December 18, 2014, the rear identification lamps may be mounted below the doors instead of above them. The license plate illumination lamp may also be mounted incorrectly, so the plate may not be fully lit. These trucks do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 for lighting. Reduced rear visibility can increase the risk of a crash.
The free remedy is for an authorized dealer to modify the truck by adding rear identification lights above the door and remounting the license plate lamp. Owners will also be notified by Morgan Olson. The recall began July 10, 2015. You can contact Morgan Olson customer service at 1-800-262-3437.
If you own a truck of this type, contact Morgan Olson or an authorized dealer to schedule the repair, and check your VIN for any open recalls on the NHTSA website.
