All recalls
Service brakes, air
- What is wrong
- Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- Risk
- Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1‑765‑489‑5499. Autocar's recall campaign number is A-1302.

Seats
- What is wrong
- On certain heavy duty class 8 xpeditor trucks, some of the seat base mounting fasteners that secure the seat base to the cab floor bracket may have been left loose or not installed at all. Improperly torqued seat-mounting fasteners may allow movement of the driver's seat while he/she is operating the vehicle.
- Risk
- This movement could result in a temporary loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the vehicle. The recall began on january 22, 2007. Owners may contact autocar at 1‑877‑973‑3486, ext. 2572 or go to www.autocartruck.com.

- What is wrong
- On certain heavy-duty class 8 vehicles, the tabs on some of the lift axle spindle nuts may have been broken during assembly. When in place, the tabs on the nuts prevent the nuts from loosening.
- Risk

- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lift axle spindle nut. The recall began on june 5, 2006. Owners may contact autocar at 1‑765‑489‑5499.

- Risk
- This could result in a loss of steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the steering bolt and tighten if necessary free of charge. The recall began on april 25, 2006. Owners may contact autocar at 1‑765‑489‑5499.
