What's wrong?
The rear identification lamps and license plate lamp on the 2014 Morgan Olson Service Body truck are part of the exterior lighting system. The rear identification lamps help other drivers recognize the vehicle from behind, and the license plate lamp lights the plate so it can be read at night. These lamps also have to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 for placement and visibility.
On affected Service Body trucks built on Sprinter cab chassis, the rear identification lamps were mounted below the doors. The license plate illumination lamp was also mounted incorrectly, leaving the plate incompletely lit. Morgan Olson traced the issue to incorrect lamp positioning after production moved from South Carolina to Michigan.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a placement and compliance problem, so the lamps can appear installed while still failing the required location or illumination standard.
