Problem Autocar, LLC (Autocar) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Xpeditor vehicles. The brake chamber clevis pin retainer may not have be been installed, possibly increasing the distance needed to stop the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems." Risk Additional distance needed to stop the vehicle may increase the risk of crash. Fix Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will install any missing brake chamber clevis pin retainers, free of charge. The recall began May 20, 2019. Owners may contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486. Autocar's number for this recall is ACX-1904.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. ACX-1904 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. 19V227000 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.
