2017 Autocar Xspotter recalls
Insufficient Brake Air Tank Volume Can Lengthen Stopping Distance

Incorrect tire pressure label may lead to underinflated tires

Parking Brake May Release Unexpectedly, Allowing Rollaway
A worn parking brake control valve can leak air into the vent line.

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.
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.
