2010 MORGAN PENSKE

  • Brand MORGAN

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Morgan Truck Bodies is recalling certain model year 2010 Penske vehicles because the "Z" mounting brackets that support the van body above the chassis can bend and break under severe overloading. If multiple brackets break, the van body may lower onto the chassis frame rail, potentially causing the walk ramp to interfere with the fuel line and the body to separate from the cab.

These safety issues increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace all affected "Z" mounting brackets free of charge. Owners of recalled vehicles should contact Morgan at 1-610-286-2223 to arrange the replacement.
