The short answer

NHTSA received Morgan Olson Corporation’s report on Sep 3, 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?

Failure of the vehicles to meet one or more required safety standards may increase the risk of a crash or personal injury.

Morgan Olson is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 walk-in trucks due to failure to conform to various Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

These vehicles may fail to comply with one or more of the following: FMVSS No. 101, “Controls and Displays;” FMVSS No. 103, “Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems;” FMVSS No. 104, “Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems;” FMVSS No. 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment;” FMVSS No. 206, “Door Locks and Door Retention Components;” and 49 CFR Part 567 “Certification.”

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.
