Recall 11V054 covers 729 2010 Morgan Penske vehicles for Z mounting brackets that can bend or break. Repair is free at any franchised Morgan dealer.
Morgan is recalling 729 2010 Penske vehicles because the "Z" mounting brackets that hold the van body above the chassis can bend and break under severe overloading. If multiple brackets break, the van body can drop toward the frame rail, raising crash risk; the Morgan dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The "Z" mounting brackets on the 2010 Morgan Penske parcel van hold the van body above the chassis frame. They are structural supports between the body and the frame rails, so the cargo body stays at the right height and does not press into parts mounted on the chassis.
On affected vans, those brackets are subject to bending. In severe cases, an individual bracket breaks. If multiple brackets break, the parcel van body can drop toward the chassis frame rail. That contact can put the walk ramp into the fuel line area and can let the van body pull away from the chassis cab.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should treat any visible body sag, unusual body movement, or contact near the ramp and fuel line as a reason to stop using the van and arrange dealer inspection.

What's the safety risk?
Severe overloading puts the Z mounting brackets at risk of breaking, which increases the risk of a crash. Avoid loading the vehicle beyond its rated limits, and have the brackets replaced through the recall repair path. Repair will be free at any franchised Morgan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Morgan Penske is included in this recall.
- Watch for the Morgan owner notice, then ask Morgan customer service at 1-610-286-2223 about repair scheduling.
- Reference recall number 11V054 when you call Morgan or speak with the dealer.
- Schedule the free Z mounting bracket replacement that supports the van body above the chassis.
- Avoid severe overloading until the repair is complete, because broken brackets increase the risk of a crash.
What happens at the repair
Morgan's remedy calls for replacing every "Z" mounting bracket that supports the van body above the chassis. At the dealer, a Morgan technician removes the recalled brackets and installs replacement brackets so the body support points are restored. The recall repair is free. The source remedy says the safety recall began in May 2010. If the repair is still open for your VIN, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
