What’s the Problem?
This recall affects Autocar Xpeditor vehicles from model years 2013-2020, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Ignition relays on the recalled Xpeditors may fail without warning, causing the vehicle to stall. A vehicle stall on roads or highways may increase the risk of an accident and serious personal injury, NHTSA said.
Autocar is notifying registered owners and will fix the problem, free of charge. This recall began on March 12, 2020.
What is the Autocar Xpeditor?
In 2008, GVW Group LLC introduced the Autocar ACX Low Cab-Over under the Xpeditor model name. The Autocar ACX brought many firsts to the market, including an ergonomically designed cab, B-pillar corner rear windows, and integrated body controls.
The Autocar ACTT quickly and successfully entered the terminal tractor market, which desperately needed a custom-engineered Class 8 yard truck that could deliver ultimate productivity and withstand continuous severe-duty cycles.
In 2012, the Autocar ACMD, America’s only medium-duty Cab-Over-Engine truck, was designed by several companies that desired an American-made Class 7 vocational truck. The ACMD platform has since expanded to cover even more applications, with additional formats such as Class 8 4×2 and Class 8 6×4.
