What is wrong
Certain model year 2009-2012 morgan olson walk-in van type vehicles, manufactured from september 1, 2009, through february 2, 2012, with sliding front side doors, have door latch systems that fail to meet the strength requirements of s4.2.1.1(a) of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 206, "door locks and door retention components," and therefore do not comply.
What could happen
A door latch system that does not comply with strength requirements may not remain fully latched keeping the door closed, especially in the event of a crash, and may increase the possibility of occupant partial or full ejection.
