2004 Autocar WX & 2004 Autocar Wxll + 1 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the air suspension height control valve may not be installed correctly.
💥 The risk
In the event of a suspension air bag failure or rupture of the air line, there could be a loss of air pressure in the 'b' system air reservoir that supplies air pressure for the front steer axle brakes. This condition would increase stopping distance of the vehicle and under certain conditions could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and install a pressure protection valve if necessary. The recall began january 4 2005. Owners 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.)
