I would place/hold some wood blocks (with someone's help) at the top and bottom of the door, between the door and frame. Close the door on the blocks and gently push on the middle of the door in an attempt to bend/ straighten it out (a little at a time)
There is nothing else I can think of, short of replacing the door that will fix the issue.
I'm also drawing a blank as to how it got that way.
I deal with this kind of thing on a daily basis with steel commercial doors. Some times they have to be persuaded to do what you want them to do.

Thanks again for your terrific input!
I had this same thought with the 2x4s top and bottom. I'll see what the dealer does with it.
I really think that it got wedged against the slide rail at some point, and someone yanked on it...
