2002–2003 Autocar WX42 & 2002–2003 Autocar WX64 + 2 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain dual steer trucks, the 18" steering wheels were not assembled correctly. The horns either worked intermittently or not at all.
💥 The risk
This condition could prevent a driver from warning another vehicle or bystander of their presence, which could cause a vehicle crash or injury to bystanders.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove and reassemble the contact plate position or roller position, if necessary. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact autocar at 1-877-973-3486.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
