2015–2017 Autocar Xpeditor recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured March 2, 2015, to September 22, 2016. The castle nuts on the steering linkage assembly may not have been tightened properly.
💥 The risk
If the castle nuts were not properly tightened, the cotter pin could shear and the steering linkage assembly components could separate, resulting in the loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the steering linkage castle nuts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during November 2016. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1604.
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.)
