2016 Autocar Xspotter recalls
Insufficient Brake Air Tank Volume Can Lengthen Stopping Distance
Certain Autocar Xpeditor and Xspotter trucks from model years 2015 through 2018 have air tanks that do not hold enough air for the brake system.
Incorrect tire pressure label may lead to underinflated tires
The tire inflation information label on these vehicles is incorrect, so it does not match the correct tire pressure requirements.
Parking Brake May Release Unexpectedly, Allowing Rollaway
A worn parking brake control valve can leak air into the vent line.
Headlights May Shut Off Unexpectedly While Driving
The headlamp relay can disconnect from the fuse box, which may cause the headlights to turn off while the vehicle is in use.
Gear display can fail, hiding shift position and raising crash risk
The gear position display (shift pad) on certain Autocar Xspotter trucks may fail, so the driver cannot see which transmission range or gear sequence is selected.
Loose Tie Rod Can Cause Complete Steering Loss
A castellated nut on the steer axle may not have been properly torqued at the factory, which can allow the tie rod to loosen over time.
Dash Lights May Be Too Dim or Too Bright, Raising Crash Risk
Certain Xspotter vehicles from the 2016 and 2017 model years were built without a dimmer switch for the dash illumination.
Steering Parts May Separate, Causing Loss of Steering
The castle nuts on the steering linkage assembly may not have been tightened properly.
Steering Column Weld May Break, Causing Loss of Steering
The steering column shaft weld can break, which may separate the steering wheel from the steering system.
Rear wheels may separate from axle, risking a crash
Certain Autocar trucks built in March and April 2016 may have rear axle tab lock washers that were not properly bent over the outer spindle nut during assembly.
Engine oil leak can cause fire risk
Excessive crankcase pressure can cause a hose fitting on the engine's vent tube to detach from the crankcase breather.
