The short answer
NHTSA received MORGAN OLSON CORPORATION’s report on Jan 19, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Without either a primary door latch system or a door latch system with a fully latched position and a door closure warning system as required by FMVSS 206, the door could partially open without warning and the driver may not be aware that the door is not fully latched, putting the driver at an increased risk of injuries in the event of a crash.
Morgan Olson is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 walk-in van type vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 4,536kg (10,000lbs), manufactured from September 1, 2009, through January 19, 2012, with sliding front doors.
These vehicles do not have either a primary door latch system, or a door closure warning system.
Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 206, “Door Locks and Door Retention Components.”

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
