Problem Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Xpeditor vehicles manufactured March 21, 2016, to April 11, 2016, equipped with a Cummins ISX12 or ISX15 engine using certain engine control modules (ECM). These ECM's may experience an internal electrical short that can cause a fuse to blow, resulting in an unexpected engine stall without the ability to restart the engine. Risk An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Fix Cummins will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the existing ECM with a new ECM, free of charge. The recall began on July 7, 2016. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-343-7357 or Autocar customer service at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1603.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. ACX-1603 is the number Autocar assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V394000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
