2008–2009 Autocar ACX recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Autocar is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 ACX heavy duty class 8 vehicles manufactured from november 30, 2007 through august 3, 2010. Water intrusion in the ignition relay may lead to corrosion, which may short-circuit the relay causing the part to fail.
💥 The risk
Failure of the relay could cause the engine to shut down without warning or fail to start increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
An owner notification letter will be mailed which will provide instructions for scheduling repair of the vehicle at an authorized autocar service facility. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on september 3, 2010. Owners may contact autocar at 1-765-489-5499.
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.)
