What NHTSA recorded

Morgan is recalling certain model year 2010 penske vehicles. The "z" mounting brackets, which support the van body above the chassis, are subject to bending and, in extreme cases, individually are subject to breaking. If multiple "z" mounting brackets break, the parcel van body may lower onto the chassis frame rail. The parcel van body touching the frame rail may cause interference between the walk ramp and the fuel line, and may pull away from the chassis cab.

Possible consequence

Severe overloading could cause the brackets to break increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace all of the "z" mounting brackets free of charge. The safety recall began in in may 2010. Owners may contact morgan at 1-610-286-2223.
